Abused And Starving Dog Found Sleeping On Old Couch Finally Rescued
Countless dogs suffer from neglect and abuse, often too frightened to seek help, even when salvation is within reach.
This is the heartbreaking story of Aniken, a malnourished dog who fought to survive against all odds.
Aniken Survived Despite His Dire State
When rescuers from Reggie’s Friends in Texas learned about Aniken, they embarked on a difficult search for him.
Guided by an anxious companion dog, they soon discovered Aniken in dire straits, too weak to move on his own.

What they found was devastating: most of Aniken’s teeth had been forcibly pulled out, and his body was riddled with infected wounds from a botched home remedy.

He was infested with ticks, clearly never seen by a veterinarian. It’s unimaginable how someone could inflict such suffering on this innocent soul.
A Challenging Road To Recovery
Upon rescue, Aniken immediately melted into the arms of his rescuers, sensing he was finally safe.
He was rushed to a vet where the full extent of his issues was revealed: parasites, mange, a weak heart, and severe anemia.

Aniken was a fighter, though. Despite the many challenges, he persevered. After receiving extensive treatment, he began to recover with a special diet of small, nutritious meals.
