Dog Abandoned and Left to Die Gets Rescued and Is Adopted
When New Jersey Humane Law Enforcement Officer Joe Antonello got a call into his office, it was because someone wanted to report a sick and, or injured deer in some tall grass near an abandoned industrial site. When Officer Antonello got to the scene in question, he saw right away that the caller was mistaken. There was no deer, just this terribly emaciated dog in desperate need of some love.
Officer Antonello knew just by looking at her, that this poor pit bull was seriously on the brink of death. He wasn’t even sure that the dog would survive the trip to the emergency hospital. Her breathing was so shallow, and she couldn’t even lift her head to look up at him. Regardless, he wasn’t going to idly stand by while the dog suffered.
He scooped her up, got her into his vehicle, and began the ride to the hospital. He called in ahead of time to advise them that he was bringing in a dog in critical condition.
“I took her right in and they started working on her,” said Officer Antonello. “All she was trying to do was lick hands when she came in.”
So I sat for most of the afternoon creating Rue's wish list on Amazon ... with her at my feet. She nudged a few times after naming something I saw on Amazon ... so OF COURSE those items made it to her list. The rest was literally Amazon's "recommendations" and going through each of their dog categories. Some things are just for fun, some things would greatly help out and others had Trenton Animal Control or CARES in mind. So peruse as you'd like and PLEASE do not feel obligated. I really did this because so many of you amazing and awesome people have been asking about donations. We can not thank you enough! If anyone else has ever done this for a rescue, and you think I should add something, please tell me!!! This is our first time! Thank you Thank you!

So sad, but glad someone adopted the dog and trying to get her well.
