dog so severely emaciated

PONTIAC - Animal rescue workers say it was among the worst cases of
neglect they had ever seen. Thin skin clinging to her bones, the skinny
wheaten terrier mix was too weak to lift her head or stand. Her gums
were white from dehydration.
Volunteers with the Animal Care Network took the dog from a Pontiac home
and brought her to the Animal Care Network, where hopeful
staff members are trying to nurse her back to health.
"I've never seen a dog as severely emaciated as this dog was," said care
network volunteer Kathryn Tucker. "There was absolutely no tissue on
this animal, just skin and its skeleton."

Max's Rescue: A Success Story
Meet Max. He was in serious distress when the
Animal Care Network (ACN), was contacted.
An ACN team led by Marie Skladd responded
to the report and found Max and two young
puppies in a backyard.
Max’s collar was too tight and embedded in his flesh. It
was difficult to gain access to the dogs. The next day another ACN
team tried again.
Working with the owners,
volunteers Kathryn and Dave removed the
chain from Max’s neck and treated it for
infection. The ACN provided Max with a
new nylon collar and a new leash on life. The
Animal Care Network Team will continue to
monitor the situation.

Rooftop Kittens
Animal Care Network was able to rescue these two kittens that
had been on this roof for days without food and water. |

Pitbull
Animal Care Network volunteers rescued this emaciated pitbull from
a backyard. The owner of the dog was put in prison and the other 10 people
that were living in the household couldn't manage to call about the dog,
nor feed or water her for weeks.
This is one of the reasons the ACN runs are so important. If we had
not been making our rounds that weekend we never would have known
about this dog. |

Gracie
In the middle of winter on a routine Animal Care Network run, volunteers
noticed a small grey object in the middle of a main road. They quickly
turned around and stopped traffic. What they found was a 6 week old
grey kitten that was suffering from hypothermia. Gracie was one lucky
kitten, she only avoided being run over because she laid in the middle
of a lane. We have no idea how long she was there. Gracie was nursed
back to health and has been adopted. |
