For more than 140 years, the ASPCA, with tremendous support and generosity from people like you, has been making a difference in animals’ lives. Such was the case with a sweet dog named Miss Bea.
An anonymous tip made us aware of Miss Bea’s deplorable situation. When our Humane Law Enforcement Agents arrived on the scene, what they discovered was absolutely awful. Miss Bea was locked in a closet, her coat a solid mass of matted fur, laden with urine, feces, and filth. In addition, she was suffering from an ear infection and nails so long they had curled around and were piercing her paw pads.
As if this was not enough, Miss Bea’s lack of grooming and exercise had caused the muscles in her front legs to atrophy. She had been denied exercise and basic grooming for so long that she could no longer walk or even stand on her own. Given the extent of the neglect in this case, the owner was immediately arrested on animal cruelty charges.
Your support of our efforts at the ASPCA is the best thing, all too often the only good thing, in the lives of abused, betrayed pets like Miss Bea. Find out how that support saved Miss Bea’s life.
