A group of specialized animal rescuers worked around the clock, worried about the unimaginable abuse of the senior poodle. After being spotted by an honest Samaritan in desperation, Petar is now fighting for his life in a local animal hospital.

When a kind Samaritan was driving on the road, she passed a transparent bag that looked like a plush toy. After pulling over to research further, she was horrified by what she discovered. Next to a bag was a malnourished dog, laying on the concrete floor.

Her mouth was closed with adhesive tape, along side each of her legs being tied together. Though she wasn’t found inside the bag, the rescue believes she had already wiggled herself out by the time she was discovered. Once the great Samaritan realized the gravity of things, she immediately jumped into action to save the dog’s life.

She saw a local businessman posing for scissors to cut off the dog, so she called the local animal administration and told them what happened. Soon after Poodle and Pooch Rescue stepped in to provide them with expert help.

“This wasn’t even just throwing the dog away, this was torture.” – said Rebecca Lynch.

Rebecca Lynch is the president of Poodle and Dog Rescue, stepped in and arranged for the puppies to be transferred to the East Orlando Animal Hospital. Consistent with Dr. Peters, the abused puppy was severely dehydrated, malnourished, anemic, and battling an infection in both eyes.

“She was so weak and unable to face on her own. We feed her four times a day and she’s been ravenous, but must be fed slowly in several meals so she doesn’t get sick. Every hour she’s been improving but remains not out of the woods yet.” – said Rebecca.

After being lovingly named Petal, the team needs to work on saving this sweet girl’s life. Petal has been receiving care at the animal hospital for about 2 weeks now and is claimed to be improving by the day. A recent update tells us that she walks through the yard with the help of veterinary technology, providing back-end support for every step she takes.

She has yet to muster the strength to use her rear legs on her own, but she is certainly giving all she’s got. The team at the animal hospital is unsure if her back legs are weak thanks to neurological issues or muscle atrophy. They hope it’ll become clearer as time passes. Petal has a dedicated team of animal advocates and the support of animal lovers across the country.

“A human tortured her! But we want to point out her that not all humans are bad. This is often why we do what we do to save lots of dogs in need with our team,” – said Rebecca Lynch.

Petal isn’t strong enough yet to be adopted, but the team at Poodle and Pooch Rescue urges any interested adopters to stay up with her journey. Rescue has promised to provide available updates, so we recommend following and supporting their efforts.
