‘Dog on a chain here dying’: New York City rescue group comes to aid of desperate puppy

On Saturday afternoon, Rescue Dogs Rock NYC received a desperate plea to save an abandoned dog found tied to a chain brought to a rural Tifton, Georgia shelter.

“There’s a dog on a chain here dying if you want to come get him. He’s emaciated, covered in fleas, can’t stand or walk and his gums are white,” was the tragic message.

Unfortunately rural shelters do not have the money to treat emergency cases and without an approved rescue organization stepping forward to help, the dog would have to be humanely euthanized. And with no hesitation, Jackie O’Sullivan, the co-founder of Rescue Dogs Rock NYC, made immediate arrangements to transfer the dog they dubbed “Bear” to the nearest emergency veterinarian hospital.

“We will not stand by and let him die,” Jackie posted on Facebook notifying advocates what had just happened. “He deserves better and he will get better. This is not okay – not by a long shot.”

When Bear arrived at the hospital,  his red blood cell count was extremely low and had he not been given a life saving blood transfusion on Saturday night, he would have died by Sunday morning. Bear was so anemic and dehydrated, staff veterinarians had difficulty finding a vein for intravenous support. Early this morning, Bear began to eat and was able to stand for a short time; all good signs. The sweet dog continues his fight to live.

  1. I’M SO ANGRY AT THIS WORLD AND THESE FUCKING IGNORANT PIECES OF SHIT THAT DON’T HAVE THE DECENCY TO AT LEAST TRY TO LOOK AFTER THE DOG WHILE TRYING TO FIND IT ANOTHER HOME, OR LETTING SOMEONE ELSE KNOW THEY CAN’T LOOK AFTER IT, INSTEAD OF JUST LEAVING IT THERE TO STARVE AND DIE….SOMEONE WHO CARES WILL HELP…..I’M JUST SICK TO MY STOMACH HOW MUCH OF THIS HAPPENS….THESE IGNORANT SONS OF BITCHES NEED TO BE FOUND AND CHARGED BEFORE THEY GO GET ANOTHER ANIMAL AND DO IT AGAIN. IT BRINGS ME TO TEARS AND RAGE OVER THIS….I’M READY TO GO POSTAL OVER THIS BECAUSE NOBODY EVER GETS FINED, OR CHARGED AND IT’S GOING TO KEEP HAPPENING UNLESS THEY GET WAY TOUGHER ON THESE JACKASSES.

    • I am right with you Elaine, anyone that mistreats, abuses any animal needs a HUGE dose of street justice. Having no faith in ANY justice system in this country regarding animal abuse I’d love to see these maggots go face to face with a bunch of us that DO care and see them get the real punishment they deserve. That would be fair.

  2. OMG! This poor poor dog,he deserves a wonderful life,like all dogs do. I’m praying for Bear to make a complete recovery. Thank u Rescue Dogs Rock NYC What an outstanding rescue organization!

  3. GEORGIA !!!! DOES YOUR PUTRID STATE HAVE “ONCE OF DIGNITY LEFT?” What and Where does the Local Churches, Schools, Universities, Day Cares, Rescue Groups, Community Service Center’s , Social Services, City Law Enforcement Centers, Sheriff Department’s, General Population of Citizens, Schools ( starting from Elementary, Middle, High School, Community Colleges , ) do as intervention and teaching tools, with the Children, Youth Groups, Young Adults, Adults, about animal abuse, compassion, dignity, !!!! Aren’t there YOUTH ORGANIZATION to ASSIST , BOY SCOUT , GIRL SCOUT ORGANIZATION… OR IS your STATE the Capital of DOG FIGHTING< ABUSE STARVATION< MURDERING of PETS IN NEED<… It looks as if the could film the sequel to THE LIVING AND WALKING DEAD and NOT have to BRING IN ACTORS …. GEORGIA IS : Fodder for ISIS< CRIMINALS < GANGS< because YOU ARE NONVESTED IN LIVING AND PROVIDING EDUCATION KNOWLEGE & PRIDE to the ENTIRE POPULATION of NO ACCOUNTS !!!! LOOK IN THE MIRROR PEOPLE WHERE IS YOUR PRIDE and SELF RESPECT!!!!!

  4. This isn’t right for a DOG to suffer like this, glad that BEAR is doing well please keep him well and happy. Chaining a DOG who ever did this should go to JAIL. THANKS

  5. It looks like he held on to life for all he is worth. He is a fighter. Praying for updates with good news of this boy.

  6. Censorship when someone speaks of the wrongs a State in our Union Allows for its Citizens to kill, maim, torture, brutalize, animal’s in the State of Georgia continuously, day in and day out with NO I SAY again NO!!! intervention from any type of agency of that Moronic State at all. Yet we as group members have no choice in being browbeat by a religious Zealot when more than half the readers have requested it stop!!!! HUM!!

  7. This world is do disgusting and Georgia you too the list right now!

    When will the cruelty of the “Human Monsters” in our world be stopped forever. How can someone leave such a sweetheart of a puppy chained to slowly die. If I could I would adopt all abused dogs and cats.

  8. Rescue Dogs Rock NYC is one of the best rescues in the USA, in my opinion. I’m sure they have to say “no” occasionally but I think it’s about 1 out of 10,000 times.

  9. Rescue Dogs Rock NYC goes above and beyond to help any animal anywhere – they deserve a stand ovation for their dedication and continued excellent work to help all animals. I truly hope Bear fully recovers and gets the safe loving home he so well deserves and never had. And to the hunk of sewer slime that left him to die, let the punishment fit the crime and they are found dying a slow death in the gutter and no one cares.

  10. Poor Baby!!!! I hope you find the Idiot that is responsible for this. He deserves to be put on a chain and left.

  11. Way to go stepping in to save Bear! It never fails to depress me, the simple fact that the majority of humans suck and have no business going near any animal! Its a sad statement on human beings and life on this planet! Man is arrogant believes himself to be the sole reason to be alive and survive on this planet! Wrong but hey far be it for me to stop mans descent into the abyss!
