Last week, we had a brief mention about a terrible dog cruelty case in NJ. A pit bull puppy was critically injured after being sodomized; she was found in a pool of her own blood in a Newark apartment building. The Humane Society was looking for information to find who committed the crime, and now it turns out that many people were so moved by the story that another $7,000 was raised. A total of $12,000 is being offered as a reward for any information leading to the arrest of the person(s) who were involved.
The Associated Humane Societies, which is NJ's largest sheltering system, also reports that the 10 month old puppy, now named Kate, is doing much better. When the dog initially arrived, she was in "shock and was extremely cold...Her body had already started to shut down - dehydration, traumatic shock, watery diarrhea, all contributed to her condition." Now, Kate "has greatly improved and even chewed through her IV which was giving her nutrition."
If you want to donate money to the Associated Human Societies, you can donate to either their ResQ Fund or their general fund.
