Izzy

Izzy

The Williams County Humane Society

When a Williams County, Ohio, humane officer received a call reporting a very skinny dog that appeared to be a greyhound on a rural property, she could not have imagined the horror she would actually find: Izzy, a starving 7-month-old female Great Dane who weighed an appalling 53 pounds.

De De

De De

Humane Society of the Black Hills

Weak and almost lifeless with deep wounds to her face and right eye, De De -- a 7-year-old dachshund -- had been wrapped in a blanket and heartlessly tossed in a dumpster. Fortunately, the garbage truck driver on that particular route regularly checks the trash bins for fear of finding a human body or pet.
