So glad that a place like this exists in Russia, so that this pup can get well. These photos are heartbreaking. Thank you to all the neighbors for their caring response and quick action.

I hate people.

She looks so broken-hearted. May her spirit heal quickly, and she get every ounce of the love that she deserves.

she looks just like my dog. same coloring and everything. my dog was abused and never allowed to leave her kennel is wat her rescuers think. my husband was told wen he got her before meeting me that she was in a kennel surrounded by nothing but her own pee and crap she also clearly wasnt feed enough or given enough water she never made a sound which makes them think she was hit anything she barked or whined bc she looked as if shed been hit many times. she was also extremely afraid of men and still is except my husband, father in law and brother in law. they r the only men shes not afraid of shes iffy around my dad she doesnt kno wat to think bc she recognizes the scent bc of boxes of my stuff he helped pack and well hes my dad so naturally he will smell like my parents house too. she didnt like wen my dad came near me wen my parents came to our apartment, got nervous wen he talked, even got nervous wen he handed her a piece of cheese. my mom she was ok with she handles women strangers much better then men. my husband told me wen they first got her and brought her into the backyard she was afraid to go on the grass which basically confirmed the fact she lived in her kennel 24/7 she didnt kno wat real grass was. wen we walk her its a nightmare she zig zags, pulls us, has to smell everything its like a new adventure to her every time. its been 7 years and since my husband got her as well as since me and my husband met. weve been married for a year and still to this day out of the 7 years hes had her no one understands y she took a liking to me instantly. she doesnt like anyone from my husbands side of the family which r ppl she should like. for some reason im an exception to her stranger danger mindset but i became her favorite person after the 1st year of being with my husband the next 5 years was that bond growing. wen i first moved into my inlaws house she was so happy that i wasnt leaving anymore. shed even check to see if i was still there in the morning wen she woke up she stopped after a month or 2 once we made the basement into an apartment she started doing it again. she went from this afraid of ppl, malnourished, dehydrated and hurt puppy to this big mush of a healthy happy dog with anxeity problems. shes still afraid of strangers, loud noises (except fireworks and thunder she fine with that), things shes never seen that make noises, us swimming in the pool (constantly barks and tries to "rescue" us) and goes nuts if anything and i mean anything is on our property. it is funny wen she barks at strangers tho, she all big mean and scary if shes inside they r outside but if they come inside she runs to the back of the house and barks from a distance. she talks a big game if they cant get to her but shes really a big loud chicken lol. i hope this dog will go thru the transformation my dog went thru it deserves a loving home and happiness just like my dog. abused and abandoned dogs need the loving care more then pet shop dogs. its y i always say adopt dont shop

Her little face is so haunted. I’d love to see her find love in her forever home.

“The local animal shelters were less than hospitable to Rada and didn’t want to take the poor dog under their wing”. I don’t think it’s fair to label the animal shelters unhospitable. If they don’t have the resources to care for a very unwell dog who is going to need particular care requiring both time and money, then they don’t have the resources. Before animal shelters are criticised, I wonder if those critics contribute to animal shelters with time or money themselves?

This is all too common an occurrence. This is a dog that came to me thru my rescue group. The people who did this to her received no punishment of any kind. Fortunately, this little girl was saved, and went on to live a long and happy life with her new family. desperata1...3e9c36.jpg

I couldn’t even look at these pictures. I saw the one at the top, covered it with my hand, then speed-scrolled to the bottom just so I could leave a comment here about how much I’d like to meet the person who hurt this beautiful dog. This sweet little being who’s never asked for anything beyond love, food and water. I mean I just REALLY REALLY want to MEET THIS PERSON.

God people are horrible. Seeing that emaciated dog through the bars reminds me of my last rescue, of guinea pigs at a backyard breeder. They were so emaciated that they kept falling through the bars of the carrier and I had to carry them in my jacket instead. Despite all the footage and veterinary reports the authorities still did nothing. People who treat animals this way need actual punishment.

That doggo is SOOOOOOOOO cute!!!!

There would have been people lining up to adopt that poor baby here in the US. I can't believe how skinny & sick that poor thing looks

There is a special place in Hell for people who abuse animals. But here on earth they should be starved and beaten just as they do to the animals they are so badly abusing. It's pretty simple...if you don't want to take care of an animal, don't get one. Damn this pisses me off!!!

No words to describe how vile and s**t some people are.

So heartbreaking. Poor little souls.

I've never straight up punched a person square in the face as hard as possible- but hearing what this guy did to his poor animals makes me want to do that many, many times. What a horrible person, I hope he gets locked up by himself with no food or water for the rest of his life.

God! This PISSES me off beyond reason!!!
