Help Charlie Heal From a Life of Cruelty

Charlie is only about six years old, but he has already endured more suffering than any dog ever should.

Before coming into the care of D&A Animal Rescue, Charlie was kept chained and left severely malnourished—little more than skin and bones. But the cruelty didn't stop there. His former owner began chaining Charlie to his car to supposedly protect his belongings. Then, one day, something horrific happened: Charlie was dragged behind the vehicle for several blocks. That was two years ago.

D&A Animal Rescue immediately stepped in, determined to give Charlie the care and compassion he had been denied for so long. His rescue team spent more than $7,000 on his medical care at the time, fighting to save him and give him a chance at a better life. Today, Charlie is still in their care—and he is now paralyzed.

His paralysis has brought new challenges. Because Charlie cannot move normally, he has developed painful wounds and blisters that require constant attention, treatment, and careful monitoring. His caregivers work tirelessly to keep him clean, comfortable, and protected from further injury.

Charlie has already survived unimaginable cruelty. He should never have had to fight this hard just to be safe. But despite everything that happened to him, D&A Animal Rescue never gave up on Charlie—and they won't give up now.

His ongoing care is expensive, and the costs of medications, wound care, veterinary treatment, and supplies continue to add up. The rescue needs our help to make sure Charlie can receive everything he needs for as long as he needs it.
