Tinsley came to us from the western part of Virginia in March of 2012. Seven years ago!
This is a picture of him once he was cleaned up-- He was beautiful and still is.
You see, Tinsley lived on this tether. Winter, summer, it didn't matter. His "owners" cared nothing about his comfort. He was rescued by a caring neighbor, and we took him in. That tether went right into the trash. There are a lot of laws that are being proposed about tethering-- some people can use it correctly. Like when you are outside and your dog wants to be out with you (and you don't have a fence). Bu, preventing this kind of cruelty is what the laws are about.
Tinsley went to live with a friend of mine and he is so loved there. He has a few quirks-- his life before we got him did cause problems, but he loves his mom and is a stunning boy in so many ways.
So, happy Arrive-a-versary Tinsley!!! We are so glad you were saved.
What a terrible thing to do .
ReplyDeleteThat neighbor was a hero for little Tinsley would still be out there on that rope in cold and hot weather.
Some people should Never have animals !!!!
I am not sure on the tethering laws in my country. I just hope no one does this!!!
