None of us enjoys reading about cruelty against animals, but rehabilitation stories always serve restore our faith in the amazing people who are committed to ensuring animal safety.
Harry the chow chow may act like any other happy animal, but he's come a long way. KMBC 9 News Kansas City reports that before he was taken in by the rescuers at KC Pet Project, Harry was found by rescuers chained behind a house. The animal shelter reports that he was emaciated, weighed down by five pounds of matted fur, and had part of his nose missing, which rescuers think had been cut on a sharp object. He also had trauma to his ears and eyes, and lost most of his vision after long eyelashes damaged his corneas.
But thanks to special care by vets and volunteers at KC Pet Project, Harry is quickly on his way to recovery. "[T]he dog our staff lovingly nicknamed 'Harry' has been so sweet and gentle with everyone and is loving the special attention from our veterinary team and staff – enjoying nourishing food several times a day, and finally getting the medical attention he deserves," writes KC Pet Project on its Facebook page. Thanks in part to donations — which will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Petco Foundation — Harry will receive all the medical care he needs during his recuperation.
