19. A Dachshund Rescue Story


This story may upset you, but thankfully it has a happy ending. It proves that with a lot of love and care, neglected dogs like Jurgen CAN be nursed back to health.

“Jurgen spent five years in commercial kennel in Missouri. He was imprisoned in a small cage and never allowed out to run. On November 10. 2004 he lost the use of his back legs. He was unable to move. The kennel owner knew that he was injured and left him to lay in his own waste. The urine and feces piled up around and under him burning his skin and causing horrid deep infections. Since he could not move, he could not get to the food or water and became seriously dehydrated. He laid in his waste for eleven days.”
