We were contacted about this boy earlier in the week with a message that broke all of our hearts.
He was found straying near a known dog fighting ring, covered in cuts and bruises with his eyes swollen shut.
To make matters worse, he was straying near someone’s home who continuously threw rocks and sticks at him to try and make him go away when it was obvious that he was injured and needed help and compassion rather than more cruelty.
The family called the police and they took him immediately to an out of hours vets who looked at his wounds and said that he was the sweetest boy with a heart of gold.
The police believe due to his injuries that he was used as a bait dog and he was brought into a dog fighting ring in a crate, the door would of then been opened and as he stepped out of the crate he would of been attacked as most of his wounds are on his head, face and the front parts of his body.
He would then of backed up back into the crate and continued to be attacked through the door with no way of escape. His injuries were most likely too severe for him to be of use anymore so he was dumped or he ran for his life when he got a chance.
Despite how lovely this boy is, he struggled to find a rescue space.
The dog wardens feared approaching the well-known U.K. charity that sometimes helps this specific pound as they knew they would just put him to sleep despite how loving and gentle he is.
Despite the vast amount of resources some charities have, it is often the smaller ones who take the harder to home dogs with more troubled backgrounds.
In the last few weeks alone, we have taken in so many dogs that would have otherwise been put to sleep.
We always make room when we can even if that dog is harder to home in the long run and will cost us more in vet bills.
This boy deserves to finally have a happy life where he doesn’t need to be scared and can feel some love and comfort.
