I’ve done several stories on Angel, the Shepherd mix puppy who was severely burned, most likely with a blowtorch held to her head, in Tennessee, at the end of July.
The poor puppy faced a long and painful recovery after her grievous injuries but after more than a month she was recovered enough to find a forever home.
Sadly, after more than four months, Angel was still sitting in the Metro Animal Shelter in Nashville waiting for her angel. Perhaps because of her special needs and scars. There’s no doubt she was not a dog that would be adoptable by just anyone, she needed a very special person or family to open their hearts and home to her.
Due to Angel’s burn injuries, she was missing most of her ears and the hair on top of her head and she was so badly burned that she lost her left eyelid. She needs to spend most of her time indoors and if she does go out she will need to have sunscreen put on her and she’ll need eyedrops twice a day.
Well finally Angel has found her angels! After a very thorough screening process by the shelter, Angel has been placed in a forever home! It was required that her new family have no other dogs and they underwent home inspections as well. The family visited Angel many times at the shelter to get acquainted with her and make sure it was a good match.
This is wonderful news! The only thing that would make it better would be if the person or persons responsible for doing this horrendous thing to her were caught.
Do they know who did this? Has anyone been charged with anything regarding this beautiful dog?
Aggie, no, no suspects or charges and sadly, it’s very doubtful that there will be any closure in this case.
At this point I think we just have to be grateful that Angel has recovered and although she will bear her scars for life, she will have a life with a loving and caring family.
I’m glad poor Angel found a home. When I first read about this I almost cried. I don’t understand why it seems like people who do stuff like this are never punished or at least never in a serious enough manner to reflect the crime. What’s the point of animal cruelty being illegal if the sickos who do this stuff are left perfectly free to do it again.
It’s creepy that this is the second time something like that has happened in that neighborhood. Obviously something sick is happening there. How could no one hear the poor pup yelping, she would’ve been screaming her head off. (Poor baby) I’m confused though as to why Angel was taken away from her owner, were they involved? Sorry to go off on a rant… This story just really got to me.
