Three puppies were found in a cage wedged between two city garbage bins over the summer .

They had mange, were malnourished, and had eye infections and open sores.

Ginger Natoli , a co-founder of Tails of Hope Dog Rescue in Memphis , named the dogs after Olympic athletes.

Natoli decided Simone was the one to be a therapy dog to work at a middle school.

Simone has been a salve to students and staffers, who also appreciate her calming presence.

She also serves as an animal advocate at a time when shelters in Memphis and around the country are so overcrowded that many cannot hold more pets.

“We’re building future dog rescuers,” Parish said.
