I read a heartbreaking story this morning about a blind, deaf pup that was thrown away in a partially frozen creek ( /abcnews.go.com/US/deaf-blind-puppy-rescued-tossed-trash-frozen-creek/story?id=59820166 ) hence the tears.
The cheers came when I read about the rescue group that has taken this sweetie in. Active rescurers might want to file this group away for future reference. https://www.speakfortheunspoken.com/about

I'm not going to read the story because the post alone was disturbing enough. Stories like this just sicken me. Thank goodness for the people in the world who care enough to save and help those who cannot help themselves!

I don’t read them either but I praise people who care enough to rescue these loving little helpless animals.

UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine has a fully accredited animal DNA lab that works with law enforcement to solve crimes, including many cases of animal abuse. They've also solved a couple of human murder cases when they found animal hair or feces at the scene of the crime which linked a victim to a suspect. Must be expensive. I wish even more criminals would be held accountable.

@Citrine1 @OKPrincess I fully understand you not wanting to read about the incident but I strongly urge you to take the time to read about Speak for the Unspoken, a pet rescue group near Columbus, Ohio, that focuses on special needs animals. You never know when you will be in a position save a special needs animal just because you are aware of this organization.

I will check into the group. I also cannot read any stories involving animal abuse, even if there is a happy ending.
There is a local group in my area, Pets With Disabilities, that I support. I recently took some blankets and gift baskets and met some new intakes.
Austin is a dog without any front legs, but sure had lots of personality. He was an angel.
This group/woman rescues the unwanted ones. Performs miracles and serve as real angels. I pray for all those who do that work. I cannot, but you know that I try to help otherwise
God bless those that can and do.

@Witchy Woman, thank you for mentioning Pets With Disabilities. I am adding them to my too short list of rescues for special needs animals, particularly those that are considered to have severe disabilities or are "unadoptable" because of their disabilities.
One of our local social groups has recently adopted finding shelters and help for special needs animals as their project. As you are painfully aware too often these darlings end up euthanized because there is no where for them to go to get the care they need. In addition to finding rescues that will help them the group is also working on educating potential adopters that special needs animals make wonderful pets and are not "scary".

I would really like the same thing to happen to those who did this. Really, really, really.
