This is so sad and unbelievable. I saw this on facebook a day or two ago and haven't been able to get that picture out of my mind. Two dogs were spotted by someone and the policeman that responded to the call contacted the SPCA. You can hardly tell these poor babies are dogs! They did not know the sex of the dogs until they had sedated them and shaved off their terribly matted and filthy hair. They named them Charlie and Marley and once shaved, found that they are both males. Charlie was 15 pounds prior to his shave and after his shave, weighed in at 9 pounds! Marley was 20 pounds prior to his shave and 15 pounds after. Unbelievable! They have figured that they are poodle mixes and 2-3 years of age, and that they have lived their entire lives in this condition. Good news in that heartworm test came back negative. Marley wasn't doing as well as Charlie and they have him on IV fluids and figure he needs another day or two of that. In the meantime, they are boarding Charlie next to Marley as they figure the two are so bonded and need each other to get through this process.

I just, for the life of me, cannot understand how anyone could be so cruel to innocent little dogs. To think of what these poor babies have had to endure just sickens me. PTL they have been rescued and can finally find out what it is like to feel loved, happy and secure. Bless their hearts!
