So today i rescued my second dog today....I went to work expecting to work my normal eight hour day, but then Dugan( Gaelic for "Dark Lad") was found, in and vacant lot, and of course no one knows who he belongs to, or where he has came from.

I'm sick and tired of people treat animals like this, this is my second rescue in less then 6 months....what are people thinking when they do this?

This dog is amazing, he is the sweetest dog ever. After I feed him got him water, all he wanted to do was play. He loves his leash, and loves to go for walks. This dog at one time was someone's pet, he knows commands, and loves people, but then they let this happen to him.....

Whoever decided to treat this dog like crap, sure did for sure. There did a horrible job cropping his ears, i'm so happy that i have friends that could help me out, and it just so happens that the rescue who was able to help me today, the guy in charge of it is an animal cop.....

He has been to the vet, he has been sedated, will be staying there for a few days, they are taking blood, running test, getting some antibiotics, as well as he will be getting much needed fluids...

Here are some pictures of Dugan.....

OMG, how awful!Owned by the "Odd Couple", Sukoshi and Hoshi

God Bless YOU for rescuing Dugan, and GOD DAMN the animal who did this to this poor dog. It's absolutely horrifying that anyone could be capable of leaving this poor pitbull to starve.

I agree he might have been used for something in dog fighting. There are so many scars on his face. This is why the breed has gotten a bad name. Because jerks get them for fighting (like they think that's macho and cool). These idiots train them to be mean and aggressive and have a killer instinct. If they aren't fighters, not mean enough, they are set free to starve and fend for themselves. Possibly even killed at times. Who knows where Dugan wandered from and how far his travels took him before he ended up being found by you.

Who knows where he came from, but he's in good hands now....i'm so happy my friends could help, and hooked me up with the right people. I will keep everyone updated on him.

I agree some people just don't understand the breed, i'm lucky to enough to have been involved with rescues to under stand the breed and learned alot about them, i used to be afraid of them at one time, because of the bad rap they have been given. In the area he was found, people don't have dogs to be part of the family they use the dogs mainly pitts as status symbols!!!!!I'm loved by Niko and Guinness my beautiful black and tan Shiba Inu's

Oh god....

I don't know what to say, except THANK YOU for rescuing this poor boy.....

this week has been awful....I'm seeing so much cruelty again and again...So all I can say again is thank you for helping....

No creature--animal or human--should have to go through that.My life revolves around two Shibas and an American Akita puppy

Stefanie, Thank you SO much for rescuing this little guy. I am sure he is more grateful that you can imagine.

And it is such a shame that ANY creature should have to go through such torture. I hope the person responsible is found and is prosecuted to the fullest extent. Good luck to Dugan and I hope that he is able to find a loving and safe forever home soon.Casey with Bella (shiba) and Nola (shiba) hanging out in the mountains of Virginia.

wow, god bless you for caring for an animal who needed it.Joe & Dawn ruled by our shibas *Katsu* and *Tanuki*. Check out Katsu's Blog, It's a Porkchop Life

Thank you for helping Dugan. I clicked on the link for the Phoenix Rescue group to try and make a donation, but the PayPal link seems to be down. Can you communicate this to the rescue? I'm sure they'd like to know.
