A couple of weeks ago, Hope Animal Sanctuary responded to a call from a member of the public who found a pair of emaciated female dogs left for dead in Pontotoc, Mississippi. The dogs were in such a severely distressed condition, it is a miracle they hadn’t already died. Their poor bodies had eaten every ounce of fat in an effort to stay alive. They were too weak to even lift their heads – the only movement from either of them was from their little eyes, sunken back into the sockets.

We named the pair Hope and Faith, willing them to live, to cling to life so they can know real love and happiness. Devastatingly, it was not to be. Despite our most diligent round-the-clock care, little Faith passed away. On top of being cruelly neglected, she was suffering from a rare and poorly-understood illness.

Survivor Hope is receiving specialist care with us at Hope Animal Sanctuary. Her rehabilitation will take months, but we are here for her every step of the way. We are optimistic that she will make a full recovery.

The identity of the person who starved and dumped Faith and Hope remains a mystery. We want to find the cruel perpetrator and bring him or her to justice. Whoever did this could face up to six months incarceration and a fine of $2,500. We are offering a substantial reward of $2,500 to bring in a conviction.
