Neglected Dog Near Death Before Rescue

The Toronto Humane Society rescued a severely neglected animal that was near death. This poor puppy, a boxer pug mix who is only about 5 months old, was left alone tied up in an apartment and confined to a very small area to lay in his own urine and feces with no access to food or water. Senior Agent Tre Smith received a call about this horrible case of neglect and went to the scene. He found this poor animal living in filthy conditions and severely emaciated. The dog, named Cujo, was brought back to our vet clinic where he was put on IV fluids as well as provided food and water. Our vet clinic is now closely monitoring him to bring him back to a healthy weight and determine if there are any long term health problems he might suffer from. Despite his ordeal, Cujo is extremely friendly and affectionate and when fully recovered will be adopted out to a new home that will give him the love and attention that he deserves. The Toronto Humane Society is conducting an investigation to determine how and why the animal reached this state, possible charges are pending.
