As we rounded the corner of an old corral we heard a growl. Then we saw a very scared looking dog. It took us a bit to realized what was going on, but he had dug several holes and was tied up to the fencing with some old poly. After talking to him a bit and sussing him out, we gave him water a bit at a time. He ended up taking down over a liter. We also gave him some fruit we had. It looked like he had been there a day or so. My better half was brave enough to feel around his neck. No collar and the poly was so tight around his neck she couldn’t fit a finger under it.
We decided no matter how the dog ended up like that, he needed help…and that whoever left him like that, didn’t deserve him. Finally got ahold of the right people and they arrived and took him to a shelter. He’s a young, healthy, beautiful Shepard (maybe collie?) mix in the Jackson, CA shelter if you’re looking for a rescue. Hopefully he finds a forever home.
I can’t imagine how anybody could do that to a dog. Just leaving it tied up in the middle of (almost) nowhere to either strangle itself, die a slow a death, or hope on the off chance someone finds him and helps him? Reeeeaaaal POS human beings.
