Poor Pit Bull Lost Her Nose In A Dog Fight, But See What The Vets Do To Her

Dog fighting is a terrible practice that can leave animals physically and emotionally scarred. No one knows why people would be involved in such a horrible activity, but there’s been some small progress in trying to curtail them. With the lengthy sentences that are also being faced as a result, more and more people are considering stopping them altogether.

But the animals are still the ones that suffer in the progress. All they know is a world of fear and pain, as well as the risk of death if they don’t succeed. Sienna Rose was rescued from a dog fighting ring covered in scars and also missing part of her nose.

It’s a horrible sight to see, and it’s likely she may never get to do some of the normal parts of a dog’s life ever again, but that doesn’t mean she should be given up on.

When she was taken in by Second Chance Rescue, they also discovered that she was completely blind in one eye and partially blind in the other.

But despite her condition, she can still eat and drink on her own, giving her some kind of independence.

After a few surgeries, they managed to reconstruct some of her face so that her teeth wouldn’t be exposed.

Every day since her surgery, she’s been recovering a little more and her tail wags just a bit harder when she sees the people who took care of her.

Though she is still looking for her forever home, she’ll find it in no time with that gorgeous mug of hers. Share away, people.

“I’m Not Leaving You, Mama!” This is What Love Looks Like.

UPDATE: Lizzie and Phantom are currently recovering in an outdoor koala ward within the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital . They’re doing swimmingly; Phantom is both gaining weight and exploring his temporary habitat. And of course, mama and baby are sharing more adorable cuddles! For most species in the animal kingdom, the bond between mother and baby is incredibly strong. That's pretty much inarguable. But last week, two koalas in Australia further proved it. After they were hit by a car, Lizzie and her joey, Phantom were welcomed into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Six-month-old Phantom had escaped the accident unscathed. Lizzie, however, wasn’t looking so good, what with facial trauma and a collapsed lung. In order to survive, she needed to go under the surgeon’s knife. But this marsupial mama wasn’t alone during the life-saving procedure. Phantom accompanied her and clung to her as she received treatment. The vets let them be; Phantom was too y...

Protect Our Waters: Say No To Plastic Waste!

Plastic garbage. It’s something we all see everyday. Don’t be fooled to think that these plastics are merely an eyesore. We’ve become so accustomed to using plastic utensils, straws, water bottles and bags that it’s easy to forget the impact this has on our environment and climate. My name is Tyler and I’m in my fourth year of university in Canada, where I’m earning a degree in Environmental Studies. I'm also an environmental activist. Even for someone like me, it’s hard to avoid using plastic at places like fast food restaurant, and that needs to change. I’ve started this movement to highlight calls to action happening around the world, and to grow a community of everyday citizens pressing governments and companies to get serious about cleaning up our rivers, lakes and oceans . When we work together, and keep the pressure on, we really can make an impact. I know this firsthand, after collaborating with activists across Canada to successfully urge th...

Speak out against the cruel dog meat trade

Much of the world sees dogs as their trusted companions, but in parts of Asia they suffer terribly as victims of the trade in dog meat for human consumption. In some Asian countries, dogs used for this industry are mostly stolen pets and they are sometimes tortured before being slaughtered. The dog meat trade is not only cruel, but is also linked to the spread of rabies and other diseases. HSI is working with local organizations in South Korea, China, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, and India to sensitize the public about the harmful dog meat trade that thrives in these countries. We actively shut down farms in South Korea, assist farmers as they transition to more humane livelihoods, support our local Chinese partners in intercepting dog meat traders’ trucks, fund the care of confiscated and rescued animals and lobby for better laws throughout Asia. Take the pledge to fight the cruel dog meat trade >>> SIGN PETITION HERE <<<
