Warning..GRAPHIC PICTURES...Dog TORTURED so badly..his eyes BURST..Please HELP..Marion County, SC

SAMMY

This is one of the worst abuse cases I have seen in a while. Just when you think you are getting a handle on some of the abuse in this country to animals, something like this happens. It just tears your heart up in tiny little pieces that someone could intentionally do this to one of God’s gentlest creatures.

Meet SAMMY. Sammy showed up as a stray about 10 months ago in Rains, SC. The family there started to feed him and he came around more regularly. He was a great dog that began to trust them and was around all the time. Two days ago he disappeared and when he returned this is how he looked. He has been tortured and both eyes have been punctured. He was taken to a doctor that thinks he was beaten so badly that his eyes burst. He was then taken to the Marion County Shelter to see if there was anything they could do for him. They recalled that someone had called

and reported a dog wandering around for the last two days with it’s eyes bulging but no one followed up on it and he suffered for days. That dog was Sammy. How he found his way back to this same house without eyes, we will never know.

He is going to our vet in Greenville, SC today and is scheduled to have surgery to have both eyes removed on Friday.

The pictures are so graphic, sad & horrifying, that we have chosen not to send them across in the body of the e-mail. You can donate by blind faith alone and trust us or choose to see the pictures. The link below will take you to Sammy's page and his pictures. You also have the option to donate without ever seeing the pictures and we have a donate button on our main page for that. That link is in green below.

We are actively doing everything possible to find the person that did this.
