animal abuse

A concerned animal lover took to social media to ask for help. The social media user wanted an abused and injured dog rescued from an abusive situation. The image posted showed a dog tied with a leash so short, the pet couldn’t even sit. What’s worse, the dog had a laceration on his neck caused. Fortunately, 24 hours after the image was posted, representatives from an animal organization, showed up at the house, armed with a court order.

Buster, is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier that almost starved to death, but thankfully, he was saved over the weekend when an animal lover from Ramsgate, England, found him near Dame Janet Primary Academy. The Good Samaritan took the dog home and cared for the animal over night, until the pet could be seen by a veterinarian the following day.

On Christmas Eve, Pillo a dog from Córdoba, Spain, was abandoned inside a trash container. His previous and unknown owner wanted nothing more with this dog. The pet was matted, beaten and starved. Whoever had him decided that Christmas Eve was the perfect night to toss the dog in a garbage bin and leave him there to die. Fortunately, the dog was discovered and saved.

On November 30, 2014, Pets Without a Home (Animales Sin Hogar), an animal rescue organization from Montevideo, Uruguay, received a plea to help a mutilated dog taking refuge in a make-shift dog house in a backyard. No knows who the dog belongs to, who abused him, or how the tortured dog arrived at the home, but the little dog, now named Nick, had all four limbs and one of his ears mutilated, in addition to having part of his nose missing.

When Dori was rescued, she was just a lump of dirty hair. Rescuers weren’t sure if she was alive because the lump of hair they found on the floor wouldn’t move. She weighed 11 pounds, after the matted hair was shaved off she weighed 7 pounds. Here is her amazing rescue and transformation.

Paco, a community dog from Lima, Peru, spends his days protecting a few blocks of his neighborhood. He is loved and fed by local residents and no one ever expected this loyal pet to get abused, let alone, that his abuser would be a volunteer firefighter.

Dogs are loyal human companions. An example of true friendship and human devotion comes from Serbia, where a male dog abandoned by his owners in a home filled with trash, almost died of starvation, waiting for his owners’ return.
