How can anyone bear to watch their dog suffer and not do anything about it?
How can they feel that such negligence is ok?
These were the questions that went through our minds when we saw her.
Meet Ariel, our latest rescued Shih Tzu.

| Life has not been kind to sweet Ariel |
We were informed of her plight when she was brought in for grooming in a horrific state. Luckily, she met a responsible groomer who recognized that she needed help and took the initiative to convince the owner to surrender the dog.

| Left with one eye |
Ariel was emaciated, reeked of urine and had nails so long, they curled sideways. Imagine the pain and discomfort just trying to stand upright. We suspect she might have been caged in her own filth as her fur was urine stained / soaked. On top of all that, one of her eyes had been surgically removed due to a prior infection. We can't even imagine the pain and suffering the sweet dog has been through.

| Hello sweet Ariel 💗 |
We would like to thank the groomer for being so pro-active and also the owner for giving up the dog for her better good.
Ariel is estimated to be between 10 to 12 years old. She is not sterilized and we can feel some lumps on her nipples. We will be sending her to the vet for a full medical asap.
Please help Ariel on this new chapter of her life by contributing to her vet bills.
