Charlie: Rescued from alleged dogfighting

We rescued Charlie from an alleged dogfighting operation in Gaston County, North Carolina. Animal Rescue and Response team member, Janette Reever, recounts the moment when Charlie was freed from his heavy chain on the property. See the touching moment that Charlie's new life began, and his loving forever home.

The dogs on this property were found covered in fleas and had visible scarring, consistent with injuries typically seen in dogfighting cases. They were found living outside on heavy, weighted chains and did not have access to adequate shelter: only blue barrels and dilapidated wooden shacks. Despite the poor conditions the dogs were found suffering in, our Animal Rescue and Response team noted that they wagged their tails and were eager for attention.

LAST CHANCE to give to animals in 2021!! While it may seem like the world has slowed down amid the ongoing pandemic, the critical work to save animals does not (and cannot) stop. Your generosity throughout the holiday season and into the new year ensures that the fight to protect all animals will continue, no matter what lies ahead.

Will you be a hero for all animals today? 💙🙏
