Cruelty comes in all forms from neglect to physical cruelty. In this case, one of the people who lived in the house with the dogs was abusive and cruel. Faith's grandmother was beaten with a metal pipe and Faith's brother had his eye plucked out because he "needed disciplining."  The rest of the dogs were disciplined with a coat hanger and a large plastic garden rake. Rescue is often notified when the local authorities must get involved and in this case, because we had taken dogs out of this home prior, the authorities had been involved from the beginning and said "enough is enough." CCDR was right there to help and retrieved dogs and puppies, healthy ones and dogs such as Faith. Faith's outcome would have been euthanasia if she had been taken by animal control, but CCDR has the ability to give dogs like Faith a second chance by putting them in foster care so they can recuperate and have a second chance at a new life.  Her previous owners are going to answer to the authorities but our main concern is for the dogs' well being.   Faith won't be available for adoption  for some time, but we need sponsors to send get well wishes to her and  help with upcoming vet needs.  Her vetting is  going to range a lot more than her adoption fee is, so donations are truly appreciated as always. We'll continue to update you on Faith's progress!
