Arfin, In Florida, a lonely dog named Tara was excited when someone finally adopted her. Staff informed her new owners that Tara would need some medications and the pair allegedly said they were happy to do that and were looking forward to caring for the dog.
Unfortunately, the opposite happened. Not only did they not provide Tara with the medicines she needed — but they didn't even provide her with food. In fact, they starved Tara so severely that she became nothing more than skin and bones, and nearly died.
When the dog's body was on the brink of death, the pair surrendered her to a family member, claiming there was "something wrong" with the dog. Luckily, the family member immediately rushed her to a veterinarian.
That's where they learned that Tara's starvation had led her body to begin shutting down. She would eagerly eat anything put in front of her. But because her organs were already preparing for death, she couldn't digest anything — she would either immediately begin vomiting or pooping.
A specialized veterinarian team was able to save Tara and nurse her back to health, and the original pair who adopted her have been arrested on animal cruelty charges. But the most important thing is — they should never be able to adopt, take care of, or live with an animal ever again in the future. Sign the petition to demand a permanent ban on animal ownership for these individuals! |
