Emaciated dog we got *pics*

[animal_rescue]

My mom got a call from someone saying that these two dogs owners moved out about two weeks ago and left them. The male died last night and my mom went to get the female, it's so sad how she looks!
I snapped some pictures of her! She is just the sweetest thing too, I went in the laundry room, where we are keeping her and she peed at first(she's scared). I started to pet and talk to her, she then started to give me kisses and crawled into my lap!
I feel so bad, how can anyone do this!? grrr I wish I could lock these people in a room for two weeks!

aww poor girl I guess she's a Pittie?Gorgeous girl,even though she's sick I hope she gets better soon!!!Get well Essy,ill keep you in my thoughts!!!

Are you planning on keeping her??

[animal_rescue]

I hope so, I think my mom is thinking about it...

Poor sweetheart. I swear the human race makes me sick. You should be very careful not to allow her to gorge on food or water as her system could really get messed up. Bloat from wolfing down large quantities all at once could be fatal. Tiny meals all day is the safest way to help build her up again. It would be great if she went to the vets for a day or two of intravenous fluids to help nourish that bony thin body. Please keep us updated, and I'm so happy you saved her life, and so sad her mate died.

I don't understand how someone can abanden their
pets and leave them to starve.
What a horrible way to die.

Bless your family for taking this girl in.

Poor dear Essy, at least now she is safe. What a sweet face she's got. The former owners should be tracked down and charged with cruelty to animals.

[Jadapit]

Omg that poor sweet dog! Thank God for people like you and your mom. I do NOT understand how anyone could do that to another living thing. The human race can be so evil at times.

Please keep us updated on that beautiful girl.

we have her on pediatric electrlytes instead of water and my mom is making her chicken and rice. We're going to give a little bit to her every six hours(not tonight, but tomorrow, so basically 4 times a day). Right now she's laying down about to go to sleep, so I just left her alone. She seems more comfortable now, I just hope she'll make it. I'm sure my mom is going to take her to the vet, I don't know when.. but I bet she'll stay there for awhile.


edit: my mom says she's going to start feeding her at midnight

[luvofallhorses]

poor Essy Get well soon sweetie. Bless your mom and you for taking her in.

[GraciesMommy]

You give your mom an extra big hug for being such an angel...
that poor baby girl...makes me SICK!
What is wrong with people!

My heart is just crumbling to pieces And tears are flowing

Thank you so much for taking that sweet girl in. I am so sad that the other dog didn't make it

Please keep us updated on how she is doing. I will be sending lots of prayers

Thank you and your mom for saving this baby. I don't understand why it took two weeks for someone to finally call about the dogs. I also don't know the laws in your town, but where I'm from it is illegal to abandon your pets like that. Essy didn't get in this condition in 2 weeks either so y'all need to report this to the local animal control or humane society and the police. These owners need to be tracked down and charged. Since you have pics of her condition that is the most valuable evidence against these a-holes. Maybe even some pics of the dead male if possible and pics of the condition of the place they came from. Before I even saw the pics I knew for some reason it had to be a Pit Bull. I think when you said she crawled into your lap and covered you in kisses even though she was scared is what gave it away. Good luck with this baby.

I knew I shouldn't have looked while I'm here at work as now I'm typing through tears. Bless both of you for having the caring hearts to give her the love and attention she needs. There are a lot of people that don't even deserve to be called human. I would like to do a lot more than lock those inhumane idiots in a room

[aly]

How's she doing with her eating today?

[misterduke]

My thoughts are with you and your family - Essy you finally found someone to love you and take care of you.

Duke and Mister send their kisses and hugs.
