A woman walking her dogs in Encanto Park in Phoenix, AZ came across a sight that she will probably not forget anytime soon. A small dog tied up in a blue shirt, tied to a picnic table, totally helpless and scared.
When the shirt that bound the dog was removed it was discovered that whoever did this also hogtied her 4 legs together. She was also emaciated and most likely abused.
Taken to the Circle L Ranch and Rescue, she’s slowly recovering with some good food, love and attention but she’s still very skittish and scared of people. No one really knows what was done to this little girl or who did it but authorities are investigating.
The good Samaritan who rescued this little girl says she’s seeing more and more abandoned pets in the park area but police can’t confirm possible because people aren’t reporting it. This was never reported to the police and only came to attention due to the media story initially.

Let’s see if we can’t get the word out there on this dog, someone might be able to recognize her, know who had her and know who abused and abandoned her. She didn’t deserve this and is lucky to have been found and rescued. No one knows how long she lay there tied up and along before she was found but she was very dehydrated as well.
Poor baby, she looks defeated
. I hope she can overcome her fear and realize that not all people are bad.
And not only do we need to find out who did this to this poor baby, but we also need to get the word out that people MUST report this stuff to the police and not just ignore it. Otherwise the sick idiots will do this over and over.
Omg, this broke my heart. Deb is right, the general public must step up and report these incidents to the police immediately.
Whoever did this should be hog tied themself, and left with no food and water; oh how people in general disgust me.
She had such a look of doom and gloom in her eyes. I hope she gets nurtured back to good health, and finds someone who will love her and give her all the comforts of home that she so deserves.
Poor baby. Thank goodness some kindhearted person found her!! Maybe law enforcement should be patrolling these areas on a regular basis if this is becoming “commonplace”.
Some of these cases if not all of them are heartbreaking.A greyhound was found incased in a binliner(trashbag)in Scotland not long ago this summer. She was still alive and only because some workers were removing trash at a roundabout was she discovered and rushed to the vets. She is recovering but was extremely emaciated and on the brink of death the expression in her eyes are very much the same as the wee dog above. Sad cases with desperate careless owners who should know better than to starve and abandon their intended fourlegged familymembers.
What in the world is wrong with people? Not only the one who abused this sweet little pet, but all the others who saw it & chose to do nothing! I’ll never understand how people can just turn the other way. Thank God there was a good samaritan that didn’t mind getting involved. I hope & pray this little sweetheart gets back to good health & a great loving family.
It is shameful and so sorry to be blunt, but..I truly feel that if you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem. Sadly, that is what is wrong with people. The ones that chose to do nothing are just as guilty in my mind. What is wrong with people…it is overwhelming and deeply disturbing to me. My heart breaks every day for all of the voiceless victims of human cruelty
so sad……….
Poor poor baby … I hope she gets well ASAP.
I shall keep her in my prayers.
How could anyone do this to such a beautiful dog, they are total scumbags and should have the same treatment done to them! I do wish that this precious dog goes to a loving and caring family or owner!!
OMG!!! bad enough that this baby was abandoned but 2 hogtie n tether her. i sure hope they find who did this…..
blessed be, sweet li’l girl. there’s somebody out there who’s gonna love u for the rest of u’r life…..
Gee…sounds like another one for the Human Research Island! I say get the DNA off the shirt and track the SOB down. This is beyond sick!! She has such a beautiful, sweet, AND lost look on her face. Thank you to the person that saved her…maybe they can adopt her?
This was truely one of these most horrific abuse cases I have heard and I did say one for there are many daily,nightly,sec.,min, ect.
YES I am so tired of all the abuser getting away with it .That is why it is happening so much,but I guess the ones who make laws on such issues animals are just proberty or objects or else they would do more because they DO have the power!!!I have been running this on facebook and my myspace I would love to know if anyone finds out anything on this.
What a lovely sweet dog how could anyone do this, why not just take it to a rescue centre instead of tying it up like that. It is terrible what people do to poor defensless animals do they like being bullies. I’ll tell you if you can get this dog up to the Shetland Isles I will give it a good home it will never want for anything again. It will get plenty of walks love and affection and play with my dog.
I am so upset to hear that this happened to this sweet and helpless dog. This abuse and neglect has to stop. They are just here to love humans and this is how they are treated?
Breaks my heart. Be sure to get to the Circle L Ranch website. They are asking for small monetary donations to help get this little sweetheart back to a good life and a good home.
