In a remote, neglected corner of the city, a heartbreaking discovery awaited Amy and Stacy from Knine Rescue Inc. Angelica and Spud, two dogs, were found living in deplorable conditions, confined to cramped, filthy crates that showed signs of long-term neglect. The overpowering stench and visible filth inside their enclosures painted a grim picture of abandonment. Despite their initial concerns about potential aggression, the rescuers were met with overwhelming affection and gratitude when they released the dogs.

Rehabilitation and Recovery
Following their rescue, Angelica and Spud were thoroughly cleaned, given medical attention, and placed in loving foster homes. Spud, being smaller, adjusted quickly and was soon adopted. Angelica’s journey was more challenging due to the physical and emotional scars of her prolonged captivity. Her hind legs had weakened from lack of use, leading to muscle atrophy. With dedicated support, she began to stand and walk again. A memorable milestone in her recovery was the introduction to her first real treat—a cheeseburger. Her delight and enthusiasm were heartwarming.
