Despite her emaciated body and sunken face, the rescuers at Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge could still see hope and love in Maggie's eyes.
"She was found malnourished, covered in fleas and pressure sores, likely from being confined to a cage," Amy H., with the nonprofit group, tells Waggle. "A discarded mama dog, Maggie was used for breeding and horrifically neglected. We can't even begin to imagine what happened to her babies."
The rescue immediately rushed Maggie to an animal hospital.
"Despite being malnourished and having painful sores, she's hanging in there," Amy says. "The veterinarians are doing everything possible to determine what caused her condition, including X-rays and blood work. They suspect starvation, but they're also checking for other medical issues."
Maggie was so starved she resorted to eating her feces to survive. But now, with the help of caring professionals, she's on a slow refeeding schedule and healthy food to put weight back on.
"We can't imagine how scared and confused Maggie must have felt before finding help," Amy adds.
Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge partnered with Best Friend Dog and Animal Adoption to rescue Maggie. Now they need your help paying for Maggie's emergency care.
Please give to help Maggie so that one day, her eyes can shine brightly with good health and happiness.
