~ Original story:


Heal Animal Rescue, a nonprofit organization in Westmoreland County, said that on February 21, 2023, someone dropped off a dog, less than 1 year old, whom they named John.

John was emaciated and burned on multiple parts of his body.


In an update announcing that John had passed away, Heal Animal Rescue said: “At such a young age, John suffered neglect, starvation, skin burns but most of all advanced stage of Distemper. Whoever did this knew something was wrong and let it go to the point of severe dehydration, anemia, severe neurological deficiencies, paralysis and finally multiple seizures. All of this could have been avoided with a vaccine.”


Heal Animal Rescue said they are not going to let John die in vain and are offering a $500 reward in exchange for information that will lead to whoever is responsible for John’s senseless abuse.


An emotional Mary Withrow of Heal Animal Rescue told KDKA: “This has to stop. We can't let some coward do this to an innocent dog.”


Heal Animal Rescue said anyone who has information about this case is asked to contact the Greensburg Barracks of the Pennsylvania State Police. Thank you!

McLennan County Sheriff's Office located guardian of dog found with a severe laceration in her neck

- Texas, USA -


After a dog was found wandering off North 12th Street and Marrow in Waco with a severe laceration on her neck, the McLennan County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation and The Heart of Texas Lost & Found Pets and Cribs For Canines groups offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to a criminal conviction.


Michelle Ann, president of Heart Of Texas Lost Found Pets/Cribsforcanines, said that the dog, now named Golden Girl, aka G.G., was found on February 18, 2023.

Someone had posted a picture of G.G. wandering the streets and Michelle drove to the location to pick her up. G.G. was not tagged or chipped.


Michelle told 6 News she immediately noticed G.G.’s collar was on too tight causing her serious injuries. “There were four to five more rivets or holes to loosen that collar with, there was absolutely no excuse for this one,” she said.


“I don’t know if it was placed on her as a puppy and they just never loosened it, but with how deep it was, I’m estimating at least 3 to 4 months like that,” Michelle told KWTX.


G.G. was in surgery less than an hour after she was picked up.


Michelle explained to KWTX that G.G. is in the care of a trusted veterinarian and will have to spend several weeks undergoing treatment, including, antibiotics, pain medications, and wound cleaning. No doubt G.G. faces a long road to recovery but once she is completely healed, “She'll go to the best home,” said Michelle.


McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara called this a “really bad case” and said to KWTX: “It just makes you sick thinking about the pain that this animal has been in for a long period of time. This isn’t just something that has happened in the last few days. It’s been going on for months and months.”


6 News reports that on February 21, 2023, the McLennan County Sheriff's Office confirmed to the news agency that G.G.’s guardian was found but no arrest has been made yet.

The Morgan County Sheriff's Department is reaching out to the public for assistance with a horrific case of animal cruelty.


Six puppies were thrown off of a bridge and left in a river on Burreville Road in Sunbright after being stuffed in a red tote bag.


The nonprofit MoCo Mutts Rescue Center said only one puppy survived and the furbaby has been named Survivor. Survivor has a broken leg and more details will be disclosed after a veterinary examination.


In a Facebook post the shelter said that the puppies “Appear to probably be a cur type mix, approximately 7 to 9 weeks old, maybe slightly older.”


MoCo Mutts Rescue Center is offering a reward, which now climbed to $2,250, in exchange for information leading to the identification and conviction of the monster responsible for such a heinous crime. As the nonprofit said: “This should make you angry and ill to your stomach.”


There is a discrepancy with the dates according to which the furbabies were tossed from the bridge. The probable timeframe is between December 24 and December 25.

If you were in the area on those days and you witnessed something unusual or suspicious that can help with the investigation, please, come forward and speak up for those innocent puppies.

They rely on us for justice!

As MoCo Mutts Rescue Center said: “Don't let this crime go unpunished.”
