Emaciated Dog – Rescue Agency Takes On Worst Starvation Case Ever

9:21 PM Unknown 0 Comments

Second Chance Rescue NYC Dogs accepted what they are calling the worst case of starvation they have ever seen this past week. The female German Shepherd mix dog brought in has been named Thumbelina. A healthy dog of her breed typically weighs around 75 pounds, Thumbelina only weighs 14 lbs.

It is a shock that she is even still alive being so frail. When Thumbelina came to the shelter they couldn’t even find a body temperature, she was given heating pads to help warm her up. A team at a veterinary hospital is working to help save this poor dogs life.

Thumbelina has shown the will to survive, and they will help her to the best of their ability. Please consider making a donation to help support Thumbelina during her recovery, visit Second Chance Rescue’s website for details.
