Abandoned Dog Found Tied in Woods with Empty Food Bowls as Sole Companion
A sweet German shepherd dog had been cruelly abandoned in the middle of the forest. One of the neighbors made a call to report that in her building no one could sleep due to the constant barking of a dog that seemed to be asking for help. Alex Kelly, an animal control officer in New Jersey, got the call:
“We were told that the dog had been howling and barking every night.”
Alex Kelly was alarmed at the shocking news. If the dog was left completely alone they feared that they might find themselves in a tough case of animal neglect. Along with his team, Alex walked around the back of the building, but found no animals there .
“When I asked him exactly how long they’ve been listening to the dog, he told me at least three days .”
Kelly knew that for the pup’s sake they had to keep looking, so she did a careful survey of the area and after much searching discovered a cute little head peeking shyly from behind the plants. It was clear that the dog needed help, but it was necessary to know if its owners were in the surrounding houses .
It was a very hot day and the dog did not have access to water.
Kelly questioned all the inhabitants of the nearest houses, but no one wanted to give any information about it :
“Nobody wanted to say who the dog belonged to. They knew there would be trouble and they didn’t want to get involved .”
In the middle of a pile of rubbish was the cute, completely abandoned dog they named Genesis. In addition, they had left her tied up so that she could not look for any way to feed herself or to get out of that terrible place.
When they rescued her, they seized the dog crate and empty food bowls so the owner wouldn’t try to leave an animal there again.
When they approached her and saw the way she had been tied up, the shock was even greater. They used a thin wire to tie it tightly to one of her legs . From her:
“If we had arrived a day later, the circulation of his leg could be completely cut off . Most likely, we would have had to amputate his leg.”
As if she had understood that a new life was now beginning for her , the dog was completely transformed when they arrived at the Associated Humane Popcorn Park shelter . She received a full medical checkup and was very happy when she was given food and water. The shelter experts concluded that her former owners used Genesis to have offspring and sell her puppies :
“They probably managed to make a small fortune from her adorable puppies , and despite that, they thanked her for abandoning her.”
