Neglected Husky Photo Posted By Neighbor Rescues 13 Animals

Getting Help For A Neglected Husky

Cassandra Clark didn't set out to become the "nosy" neighbor. But every time she took her dogs for a walk, she noticed a neglected husky at a nearby house. So, the devoted animal lover decided to do something about it. And sometimes being the nosy neighbor saves a life...or in this case, 13!

A Terrible Discovery

Cassandra first noticed the husky in a normal sized cage on the deck of a nearby apartment complex, so she didn't think much of it. But over the next few days, she noticed that the conditions continued to worsen.

The scene became so awful, Cassandra couldn't bear it. She went online and reported the case to Animal Services. The next day, Cassandra was out walking her puppies when she heard crying and wailing. To her horror, the neglected husky had been crammed into a crate far too small for a dog of his size.

Time To Report It

So, Cassandra called Animal Services for help. Unfortunately, it would be at least a day before they could respond. On a day where temperatures would eventually climb to 104 degrees, Cassandra knew that was time the poor pup didn't have. Cassandra tried 911, but they referred her back to Animal Services. She made a few more calls with the same results. So, she turned to the Internet for help.

A Plea For Help

Cassandra posted photos of the neglected husky to Facebook, explaining the situation along with her frustration. Instantly, replies flooded her post to offer suggestions and express mutual disgust at the dog's atrocious conditions.

"I had immediate response, a ton of shares, and so many people willing to go rescue. It was amazing," she said.

And what they found was a shock to everyone! Credit: Facebook / Cassandra Clark The investigation uncovered not just one husky, but two. But that's not all.

What Neighbors Didn't Know...

There were also 4 cats and 7 kittens. That's 13 animals living in one, small condo.

"I was so shocked and disgusted when the dispatch said there were 13 animals, and the huskies are so malnourished and low in weight," Cassandra said.

"You never know what you’re gonna find. You have to speak for those who can’t speak,” Cassandra said.

Because of Cassandra's persistence, 13 lives were saved, and God's precious creations are being given the love and respect they deserve. Well done, Cassandra! Be sure to share this story so others will speak up, too!
