Rest in Peace Sweet Puppy

On Sunday evening, January 29, 2012, a puppy was dumped in a resident’s front yard in the Mason Park-Greater East End neighborhood. The resident told us the puppy had a t-shirt on when found. He tried to feed the pup but he would not eat. Dumping animals is a common occurrence in this area.

We felt we owed this poor pup a chance and took him to VERGI 24/7 Pet Hospital. The vet said there was a 50/50 chance the puppy would survive; they needed to stabilize him and hope for the best. The vet guessed the puppy was only 8 weeks old. By 1:00AM, the puppy was having a difficult time with nasal discharge and seizures and it was recommended by the doctors to put to him to rest.

We are only touching the surface of this continued despair and sadness that goes on in the Greater East End Community. Animal abuse and neglect are a way of life and we are fighting for a change but it seems very little people care. Do you care?

Bless Lawrence Benavides, Eva Belendez and this caring family for letting this sweet puppy know he was loved. Sadly, everything happened so fast that we weren’t able to take a proper photo or give him a special name. He will always be remembered in our hearts as the puppy that deserved a home and special name. Rest in peace, sweet baby.
