Two dogs are recovering at Niagara County SPCA after being seized from an abusive home.
Niagara Falls Police Department responded to an anonymous call about two dogs in a backyard that appeared to be “in rough condition.”
Both canines were having difficulty walking and were in dire need of rescue, according to Officer Jimmy Tucci.
“When an officer arrived, he noted that one of the dogs was unable to put weight on its leg. Hemi, the second dog, was malnourished, dehydrated, and unable to move. The police had to carry him since his rear leg was swelled and damaged so badly,” the shelter added.
Hemi was taken to Northtowns Emergency and is now recovering at the Niagara County SPCA.
Even though both dogs were mistreated and neglected, they are sweet as can be. “It’s heartbreaking to think that Hemi is just a baby and this terrible treatment is all he knows, but we assure you that his life will be better from here on out,” wrote the shelter.
Hemi is being spoiled by the staff with tons of attention and love and is expected to make a full recovery. They announced in a recent update video that once Hemi fully recovers he has a forever home waiting.
Tucci’s wife, Samantha Lynn, commented, “My husband responded to this call. Heartbreaking. We are praying to adopt him.
Tucci contacted the shelter to inquire about Hemi’s well-being and set up a meet-and-greet with the couple’s dog Manny. “The responding officer is going to be adopting him,” the shelter announced, “and we are very, very thrilled about that.”
Foreign came in better condition than Hemi and is thriving. She has a permanent home with law enforcement once she is medically approved. According to WKBW, the beautiful girl is being adopted by a local sheriff.
People praised the officer for rescuing the dogs and adopting them. They also thanked the anonymous caller and everyone who is caring for the sweet pups.
“So happy the dogs were reported, Thank you for rescuing them. Those sad eyes will soon be happy eyes,” posted one person.
