The dog was found and brought to HSHV by a Good Samaritan.

“Despite being starved and neglected this dog is incredibly sweet and trusting. This kind of cruelty is heartbreaking and unacceptable,” said Tanya Hilgendorf, CEO of HSHV. “We are grateful to the Good Samaritan who rescued this dog and want to remind the public about help we can provide such as our free pet food pantry, Bountiful Bowls. There is never a reason to let an animal starve.”
“Sadly, there has been a slew of unwanted dogs tied to trees and fences at or near HSHV this summer. Though thankfully not in the same rough shape as Cypress. We ask pet families to please call our Intake Department. We are always full, but if you absolutely can’t care for or keep your animal and you live in Washtenaw County, we will find a way to help,” said Hilgendorf.
HSHV’s Cruelty and Rescue line is open 24 hours, 7 days/week, and animal cruelty investigations are funded solely through donations. For information on HSHV’s programs and services, including support for pet owners or how to surrender an animal, please visit hshv.org.
