Dog Abandoned By Cruel Owners Found Struggling To Survive In Deserted Wetland

Abandoned And Fading, Weak Dog Rescued From A Desolate Wetland

Heartless owners continue to abandon innocent animals, leaving them to suffer alone.

One such case in South Florida shocked everyone, highlighting the harsh reality of pet abandonment.

 

A Cruel Act Of Neglect

On a cold February day, a couple driving through the Florida Everglades in Broward County noticed something heartbreaking.

A weak, frail dog lay curled up in the dirt, barely making a sound.

 

The poor pup was filthy, severely malnourished, and unwilling to make eye contact.

It was clear he had been dumped, left to fend for himself with no hope of survival. Days of starvation had pushed him to the brink of giving up entirely.

Knowing time was running out, the couple desperately sought help. For four long hours, they made countless calls, but no one responded.

Just when all seemed lost, the police arrived.

 

We were calling all the rescuers and organizations for four full hours, but nobody responded,” the couple shared. “In the end, police came.

 

Deputies from the Broward Sheriff’s Office arrived to handle what was described as an “extreme case of abuse.”

 

One officer immediately showed kindness, offering the dog food and water to give him enough strength for the journey.

Though Powder, as they named him, slowly began to trust them, his body was so weak that he couldn’t even stand. Transporting him was a challenge, but the officers refused to give up.

Their dedication and compassion saved this dog’s life. A huge thank you to these incredible officers!

 

The Aftermath Of Abuse

Once Powder was stabilized, deputies reached out to Dezzy’s Second Chance Animal Rescue. Without hesitation, they stepped in to help.

Sandra Dezelen, the founder, took Powder into emergency care. She immediately saw the extent of his suffering and knew his road to recovery would be long.

Medical tests confirmed he had a severe infection, leaving his skin red and inflamed.

A visit to Dr. Rob Schneider, a specialist, revealed that Powder had Entropia, a painful condition requiring surgery on both eyes.
