A Chow Chow dubbed Marley by the Charleston Animal Society ,was found nearly dead on Tuesday tied to a fence on Garrett Avenue in North Charleston, and authorities are asking for the public’s help finding whomever abandoned her in such neglected condition. The emaciated dog was covered in fleas and ants; she couldn’t stand and at first rescuers thought she was dead.

According to the rescue organization, Marley is now receiving advanced veterinary care and is listed in stable condition. She is 25% under her normal body weight; she currently weighs 31-pounds and should weigh 40-pounds. The dog estimated to be two to three-years of age underwent a blood transfusion; when found her lips and guns were nearly white indicating anemia. By Wednesday morning, however the dog had already been responding to the excellent care and seemed bright and alert.

“We need the public’s help to find out what happened,” stated Charleston Animal Society Director of Anti-Cruelty & Outreach Aldwin Roman on the organization’s Facebook page. “This didn’t happen overnight; someone must know something.”

  1. If you know the MONSTER responsible for the abuse of this beauty….report them or consider yourself just as guilty!!! Anyone who can hurt an animal….or constantly walk by one in need and do nothing is a monster. Period. No exceptions no excuses………you are a worthless use of skin.

    • Red, you have said the true words, if someone knows of the abuser n does nothing…they are as guilty as the abuser…anyone who abuses whether animal or human is heartless n many more names, some I do not want to say in this response…if you have a fur friend, neuter r spay, love it n take the responsibility as if it is your child…after all they do become part of our families…at least my pack of 3 are my babes…

  2. Poor Baby. Thank you for helping and finding her. I hope she will do well. I hope you find who did this and make them pay.

  3. ANY struggling pet owner who cares about their animal would NEVER leave it tied up to die – whoever did this is a maggot infested hunk of shit – I would love to nail this bastard to a tree and leave them – let the punishment fit the crime. I hope Marley recovers and gets the safe loving home she never had.

  4. I hate to be a downer here BUT why do they want to find who did this?? If found they would be arrested and charged,hauled into court and then NOT PUNISHED!! As far as I’m concerned it ALL about the money and NOT about justice for a crime! The courts can take those fucking fines and shove them up the asses of the judges who refuse to punish these abusers! I feel that animal cruelty was made a crime for the sole purpose of generating money for the courts,the proof is in the pudding…..they catch the abuser,they arrest and charge the abuser,they impose a fine and then let the abuser prance out of the court with a mere slap on the wrist to repeat the abuse all over again with a new dog! EXCUSE ME if I’m under the impression that when u break the law u receive punishment as a deterrent to NOT break that law again!!! Silly me for thinking that a fine is not punishment for such a horrific,brutal and cruel crime!! That damn fine DOES NOT send the message that animal cruelty is WRONG,AGAINST THE LAW AND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED BY SOCIETY!! GOD BLESS MARLEY AND HEALING LOVING PRAYERS FOR A SPEEDY RECOVERY!!!!!
