It’s hard to believe how little compassion people have for animals. Especially once they own one.
Alas, sad stories of mistreated and abandoned pets abound, and an RSPCA shelter in Leicester, England made headlines in March for yet another case.
This is Misty:
Workers at the Woodside Animal Shelter were shocked when the came into work on a Wednesday in March to find her tied to their front gate. It was unclear who left her there or how long she had been there without food or water (though it couldn’t have been more than an evening).
The adorable little pup was just waiting for someone to find her and got so excited when she saw her rescuers.
“She was stood with her head pushed through the bars of the gate, her ears back with these big, brown puppy dog eyes,” a spokeswoman from shelter said in a press release.
Misty clearly had a rough life before finding her way to the rescue.
For starters, she was malnourished and photos show her ribs visible under her skin. There were also cuts on her nose and a skin condition to treat.
Her rescuers found a microchip on Misty, but when they called the number she was registered to, they were told she had been rehomed years earlier. There was no more information as to why that was or who her next owners were (nor how she came to be abandoned).
