My mind can't even wrap around this and other despicable acts of animal abuse. In this case, what torture their minds went through being subjected to "nothingness" in the way of love and companionship. What an incredibly horrible lonely life for a pack animal. Humans are indeed the cruelest animal. Colleen Donnelly solanagsd <solanagsd@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Don't you just want to shoot people that do this???

They are exceptionally social for having been chained out most of their lives and we have reason to believe they were once allowed indoors during their first year so their rehab will not be as difficult as some. They are sweet with a couple young neighbor boys who often find one of them running loose when he pulls his chain out of the ground and runs through the fields. Another neighbor is feeding them daily for now. We are making plans to fully vet them, including neuter. We need help. These boys need to be brought inside or kenneled with the winter weather approaching. Is there anyone who can help? We would be glad to help set up a transport after we finish their vetting. We would be happy to help with foster care expenses and help place them or transfer them to an appropriate rescue group. if you can help, please let us know ASAP. A local chained dog rescue took straw in for them a couple days ago but that is not enough as the snows approach. See them here....
