When the Pennsylvania SPCA (PSPCA) recently received a call from local police alerting them to a trio of dogs housed in dismal conditions nearby, the shelter’s rescue team hastily headed to the scene.
When team members arrived, they almost couldn’t believe their eyes. Three dogs peeked out from the dilapidated wooden structures they called home. Their overturned food and water bowls sat empty, collecting dust.
“[T]he scene was more harrowing than we could have imagined,” the PSPCA wrote in a Facebook post. “Tied up with chains to makeshift shelters were Bam, Beau and Brenda.”
Rescuers assessed the pups and found Bam and Beau to be in the worst condition. They raced the pair to the shelter’s hospital.
“They were both started on medications to treat their wounds and refeeding plans to slowly help them gain weight,” the PSPCA wrote.
Brenda, the healthiest among them, also got plenty of attention for her less critical needs.
Safe in expert hands, the pups finally relaxed.
These days, Bam remains in the shelter’s hospital, taking the time he needs to heal.
“[I]t’ll be a bit of time before [Bam is] ready,” a representative from PSPCA told The Dodo. “He is very sweet, but we think he isn’t feeling well enough for his personality to truly shine. We’ll take the next several days and maybe even weeks to get to know him and make sure he knows he’s safe.”
Beau recently moved to the shelter’s greenhouse, a space for adoptable animals. Rescue staff are hopeful that he’ll be available for adoption soon.
“Our hospital team had nothing but great things to say about this good boy,” the representative said.
Meanwhile, Brenda is up for adoption, looking for her perfect match.
“She is very social, loves to wag her tail, solicit attention, lean into to her human friends and even is starting to play!” the representative said. “She has met some other pups and seems to want to play with them.”
Regardless of where their individual roads lead, animal rescue staff know that Bam, Beau and Brenda all have bright futures ahead.
“With each day that passes, all three dogs are becoming stronger and learning to open their hearts up to people,” the PSPCA wrote. “They may have been forgotten in the past, but with us, they never will be.”
