Abuse

 WARNING:  Graphic Video

You may have heard by now about Desmond Hague, the CEO who kicked a dog in an elevator – the story’s been everywhere.  Now because of all the negative press, the hot-tempered dog abuser is resigning.

On August 18, 2014, Tim Clifton, director of Animal Control in Clarksville, Tenn., rescued a tiny dog dumped in a garbage container. At first Clifton couldn’t identify the dog’s breed because the Yorkshire terrier was covered in blood, grease and trash. Nevertheless, the small pet was rushed to a vet clinic where his life was saved.

Eldad Hagar and the Hope for Paws crew have rescued yet another dog. This poor pit bull was tortured by neighborhood kids.  They would throw rocks at him, and beat on him.  Thanks to a good Samaritan placing a call to the Hope for Paws gang, this poor, tortured soul is in good hands.

When volunteers from Secondhand Hounds met Coen at a Kansas, Mo., shelter on August 10, 2014, they couldn’t believe how badly injured this dog was. Knowing that if left behind the dog would get euthanized, the Minnetonka, Minn., animal rescue group decided to bring him back home, help him heal, and give him a second chance at life.
