He was housetrained but not allowed potty pads. So he was kicked so bad he had broken ribs and left hip. Then rather than get rid of Mike , he was locked in a windowless, unheated garage for over 2 years. When Mike was finally rescued by local animal control, he was hairless, nearly blind and starving. Mike made it to IMPS rescue and his abusers were prosecuted to the tune of a $5,000.00 fine. Thank the lord for people who step up and save these dogs and all other animals from human cruelty.

He spent the last 13 months with me at home everyday all day. He passed 3 weeks ago and the grief has no words. We chose to cremate him and now his final resting place is here in our home.

Poor little angel! 😪😪😘

[@janisfaloon2702]

She knew love for the last 5 months of her life. Disgraceful Phobe was left alone for so long. She died loved, in front of the fire, in comfort and not alone. Thank you Hope for Paws for helping to make her last 5 months happy and secure.

[@memom010605]

So sad for Pheenie that she only lived for 5 months after her rescue, this story about Pheenie brought tears to my eyes. R.I.P. Pheenie.

[@vikkiviau6008]

It is so sad when the pets are left behind. Just glad that she KNEW someone cared for her before she passed away.

[@coffee_wolfie2341]

Imagine dying and having no one there to cry.

[@lisazelko3353]

She truly was an incredible doggo. 9 years of loneliness and she welcomed every pat she got, some dogs dony come back from that. RIP beautiful one, run free and forever be happy.

[@pottsville19431]

So beautiful that Pheenie was loved those 5 months and passed by a warm fire with loving people. She knew love at the end of her days. RIP in peace Pheenie. 🐶 you will love being over the Rainbow Bridge.🌈

[@TamaraBeinlich]

Eldad this just broke my heart that people could ignore a dog in need for 9 years! I cannot believe her owner never contacted anyone to help their dog after deportation. In the end she found safety and love but 9 years boggles the mind.

[@ElsaInCa]

This one is a heartbreaker for sure. 😢 So hard to think that she survived for nearly a decade in those conditions. I’m glad she enjoyed a few months of love and comfort, and passed away knowing she was loved, rather than forgotten and alone.

[@LoomofDreams]

It boggles my mind that people fed her for nine years, but not a single one thought to try and get her to a vet, or call a rescue to help her. She would have died out there if that lovely woman hadn't seen her and called Hope for Paws.

[@realyuki_TvT]

Yes.. there are so many animals that need help around the world.. these people are like god's to save so many life at once...

[@missymarkle4787]

Started a little weepy but graduated to ugly crying. Breaks my heart that she lived that way for so long and the people feeding her didn't do more for her before it got bad. I'm so glad she didn't have to die in the dirt under that container. Thank you for showing her what love really was.

[@lindabruce5746]

So sad. In tears. I rescue cats. Live deep in the mountains. We have humane societys in huge buildings run by the government. Once they have a few cats and a token dog in a cage they are quote full. I take in cats. Am a widow with 5 children. It's hard for us to pay medical bills and feed them good food and find homes. Especially hard to save kittens around the clock. They are all living beings. There life is important too

[@The.Pickle]

Bless your big heart.

[@sallyfeschuk5771]

Thank you. Just thank you for doing all you can to help. Bless you and your wonderful beautiful caring heart.

[@amaraarcana7243]

Linda, thank you for rescuing cats. Here there is a pet food bank. Also you can search “how to get pet food donated” Many companies have started donating rather than throwing perfectly good pet food out. Hope that helps you. Thanks for caring enough to help animals.

[@lindabruce5746]

Amara Arcana. Thank you so much for that info. Budget wise we are stretched beyond our limit. Need to pull out the credit card. I can't afford to have cards and loans. But all the Angels are in our corner. We manage. I have no idea how

[@francisconeto2740]

[@donnap7757]

Sighs. Been reading the comments before watching. Glad she passed away after getting a bit of love and comfort

[@HT-lp7br]

How true. The rescuers are truly angels on earth. Blessed are the people who fostered her. 9 years was an incredibly long time for humans, let alone a dog 🐕😪

[@kaycee363]

Just heartbreaking 💔 RIP little angel 😢 Thank you hope for paws for bringing some love in her life. God bless you all.

Please, check out another recent video from Hope for Paws, regarding setting up a will/trust for your pets. Making sure they are cared for, even when you’re gone, is a life saver for orphaned pets.

Oh Pheenie I would have loved you for a lifetime 💔🙏I'm so sorry you were only able to be loved for those 5 months💔really wished you could have stayed longer🙏💔rest easy sweet girl you are somewhere where you will be loved forever ❤️love you Pheenie💜RIP baby girl💔🙏💔🙏

Heartbreaking 💔💔💔... gone too soon. Yet she received love ❤️ and died peacefully in the company of Love ❤️. Thank you. ❤️🐾🐾🐾❤️

[@Meriale46]

How in the world can anyone leave that precious girl alone in that crap hole for 9 years and never call anyone to help her? It's obvious she was abused over the years with her blind eye and to know she had a broken leg as well and they still didn't bother. People's level of cruelty never ceases to amaze me. She only knew 5 months of happiness and kindness in 9 years of her life... I'm just so glad she didn't die in that horrible place she spent the majority of her life in. She was so sweet and gentle even with all she had been through. God bless her sweet soul. I pray she is in heaven with other sweet animals running and playing and enjoying her new life.

These people knew this dog had been abandoned, lived in this situation for 9 years and didn’t get her help until now! Shame on them, there is no excuse for this inhumanity to this precious little baby, thank you to whoever got her help and thank you to Hope for Paws rescue.

@John P. Denver Then you can still get help.

[@Nessal83]

@John P. Denver Wrong. I rescued plenty of big dogs that was even worse than this. And they obviously did it here as well. It only takes a small amount of courage and the will to do the right thing.

[@Nessal83]

@John P. Denver bruh no one is saying anyone should jump in head first. You can be a "hero" by dialing the number for animal control or the non-emergency line for your police station and stay on the scene until they get there. Don't even need to break a sweat to be a "hero".
