Help Us Find Cold-Hearted Person in Sidon, Mississippi

It was bitterly cold and the wind was blowing as the terrified dog sat shivering in a wire crate on the boat landing. She was beside herself and did not understand what she had done to cause her to be left all alone in this dark place.

Hope Animal Sanctuary Operations Manager, Sharon Stone, received a report that a female dog had been abandoned in a wire crate on a boat landing in Sidon, Mississippi. Temperatures in the area had already dipped below freezing that night, making this bad situation even worse.

Sharon leapt into action, enlisting the help of a local In Defense of Animals supporter, K.K. Kent, who immediately went to the location and began efforts to rescue the dog. Susan Burrell, board member with Leflore County Humane Society was next to receive a call from Sharon, and she immediately agreed to take the dog in.

The dog, now named Sydonia, is safe with The Leflore County Humane Society. Sydonia is responding well to the love and care of Society staff, and will hopefully be ready for adoption soon. Thanks to the efforts of local citizens and two rescue organizations, Sydonia will never be cold and alone again.
