the dog was brought into the Clarksdale Animal Rescue Effort and Shelter (CARES) in Clarksdale, Mississippi, poor people thing was not doing so great.
The Shih Tzu blend, which rescuers evaluated to be around three or four years of age, had been living in the city (on the streets) for who knows to what extent before meandering into somebody's yard and getting their consideration. After feeding him for 7 days, that individual chose to bring him into the animal shelter, where volunteers were stunned by his appearance. A casualty of disregard, was tangled to the point that he strolled with bowed legs. A victim of neglect
His body was covered with the thickest mats we have ever seen.
We have never seen so much hair on a dog of this size, "said Paige Daugherty, CARES Board Member and advertising manager.
"They were a dreadlock-like texture that scissors could not cut, supposedly years of neglect."
Two staff members and a volunteer went to work with him a little over a week ago, and spent three hours releasing him from his stuffed prison.
