In Brooklyn, New York, a German shepherd was discovered tied up outside of the Brooklyn facility of the New York City Animal Care Centers.

According to Pix11News, Animal Care officials at the shelter  think the dog had been tied to something and had tried to chew off his foot in an attempt to escape. It is expected the dog will make a full recovery although his leg will have to be amputated.

This isn’t the first case of a dog chewing off his foot to escape. In April 2016, Kevin Kennedy’s eight-year-old German shepherd chewed off his own foot trying to free himself from a tether that had been painfully twisting his leg for an extended period of time. The long-haired shepherd named Maverick was rushed  to an emergency veterinarian clinic for immediate help. Veterinarians discovered the severe wound to the dog’s right rear foot.

Donations for Maverick’s care poured into the Massachusetts Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals; remaining funds had been forwarded to “Spike’s Fund” which helps more animals  in need of veterinary care. More than 1,000 people wanted to adopt the friendly dog.

Let’s hope this German shepherd found in Brooklyn is lucky enough to be adopted into a wonderful home. More updates to follow as they become available.

  1. The scum who left this dog tied up couldn’t just walk into the building and say you found the dog wandering the street? Disgusting so-called people. Glad this dog will be taken care of.

  2. ANYONE who abuses, abandons, or is cruel to an animal deserves the exact same treatment they gave. Way too many abusers get literally no punishment by the braid dead court system and incompetent judges who view animal abuse as seriously as littering. There are many of us animal lovers who would thoroughly enjoy dealing out the proper punishment to these maggots – it wouldn’t be pretty.
