Have you heard about Patrick the Pit bull who was thrown into a trash bag and then tossed down the trash chute? Well, if you haven't then I will catch you up on his amazing fight to live right here.
I apologize in advance for not having the time to write this post on my own and I credit this post to www.nj.com and www.newjerseynewsroom.com. for bringing Patrick's story to the forefront.
"On the day before St. Patrick's Day, a 1 year old red pit bull mix was found in a trash bag at the bottom of a Newark apartment building garbage shoot. Mark A. Ortman, the employee at the Garden Spires apartment complex who found Patrick in the trash compactor, had seen the dog earlier on the building's 19th floor, tethered to a stairwell. He later learned the owner of the dog was Kisha "Red" Curtis.
Patrick, as he was later named by the Humane Society, was brought to the Garden State Veterinary Specialists in Tinton Falls where he received immediate care.
Patrick was treated by specialists that determined he was severely anemic and malnourished. This was an extreme case of cruelty and people all over the world have been contacting the hospital to make donations and ask about his status which has been posted on Patrick's very own Facebook page. Doctors say that if Patrick continues to improve and recovers completely, the Humane Society will arrange for his adoption."
If you want to follow Patrick's story, send him some stuffed toys, or send money to support his cause please click on the Facebook link above and/or the Garden State Veterinary Specialists link.
What a remarkable outpouring of love this little guy is getting! Isn't he the sweetest dog considering what he's gone through?
We too have been following the story of poor Patrick. We so hope he will be able to regain his health and strength with all the loving care he is now receiving. He just has the sweetest face.

Thank you for the updates. Such a beautiful furry soal he is. He will make someone a great companion when he fully recovers.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard this story. He looks so pitiful in the one photo with his ribs sticking out. How could he have been tethered to a stairwell for such a long time that he was starving and nobody did anything? I can hardly read or hear stories like this and yet at the same time I have to hear them. There are so many animals that need saving and we all can only do what we can do.
ReplyDeleteoh no's! we hate stories like these but are so increadibly releived that someone was there to helps him. we are voting on our next woggie pibble meeting to send our stuffy moneys to him instead.
ReplyDeletewe fink we will get a resounding yes from the whole pack ;)

I'm so glad that Patrick is being taken care of - what a horrible life he has had. I don't understand how people can mistreat animals. I hope the owner went to jail at the very least.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by our blog last week. We would love to be featured on yours :) I didn't know how else to contact you, but wanted to let you know I saw your comment. you can write to me at petsjubilee@live.com if you have any questions. Thank you :)
It's so hard for me to see stories like this. I'm just happy he is getting love and care now. I hope he gets well soon and I am sending healing thoughts to him.

BTW: I got my Silly Sat Hall of Fame goodies! Thanks so much...I'm going to post tomorrow all about it!
Hopefully when he is well enough to be adopted out he will be placed with people that will feed and care for him, spoil him and just flat out love him...

This made my mommy cry first out of sadness they out of gladness that Patrick is on the mend and being pampered. Do you know if the bad guys will be punished?

That poor baby, I could only wish the same thing could be done to his owner.
ReplyDeleteIt still amazes me how some people can be so cruel.
ReplyDeleteI hope the ex owner has a one way ticket to Satan.
We have been following Patrick on FB since it happened! Mommy cries over this poor baby all the time! As sad and tragic as it is, and with all the suffering he has endured, his story is shedding light on the severity of the issue and we can only hope that he is the voice for so many others in his situation! Pawsitive vibes for Patrick and all the others like him!!
