This is Patrick’s Story:

The
22 story apartment building is equipped with garbage chutes on each
floor for tenants. Someone had no more use for this dog. They had
starved it to near death, put it in a garbage bag and threw it down the
garbage chute.

A maintenance worker cleans out the bin every few
days and on Wednesday, March 16th, they were cleaning out the contents
of the container to go directly into a trash compacter. The bag moved a
little and the worker opened it to find a moribund dog inside —
pathetically thin, cold and near death.

The City of Newark Animal
Control was contacted and ACO Arthur Skinner picked up the dog and
brought him directly to the Society.

The veterinary staff
immediately put him on intravenous fluid.His temperature was so low that
it did not even register on the thermometer. He was covered with
heating pads and blankets. Society vet tech Gina DeSalvo held the pit
bull in her arms — she soothed him, gave him warmth, comfort and bits
of food. From that moment on, he looked up with gratitude in his eyes to
all of the staff.

After a brief time at the Society’s Newark
facility, he was ambulanced to Garden State Veterinary Specialists in
Tinton Falls — a referral hospital with 24 hour emergency care. If he
died during that night, we feel he would know that everyone loved and
cared about him and treated him gently and lovingly.

He amazed
everyone at the Society and at Garden State by surviving with the 24
hour emergency care that they rendered. He was given a blood
transfusion, a bath — and even a walk!

In honor of the first
day of his re-birth, we call him Patrick — in honor of St. Patrick’s
Day and we hope he has the luck of the Irish!. File 99623-F.

The
Society’s Res-Q Fund is just what is needed for emergency situations as
this. The expenses involved are high and the effort to save this dog
comes at a great cost. Although emaciated dogs have come in for our
help, we have never seen one this wasted. There will be a long road to
recovery and your donations to the Res-Q Fund will help Patrick.

This is my first video… I don’t own the pictures… Nor the facebook
page… I was simply moved enough to create this video for the world to
see… There is much injustice in this world and what they did to
Patrick will probably not be prosecuted properly… His owner should be
ashamed.

PATRICK’S STORY

The depths to which human depravity can sink, as illustrated by this story and gut-wrenching pictures can shock even those of us who have seen the worst of the worst.

The misery, pain and callousness inflicted by humans is more than can be understood by most people. It’s accepted that many people do not like animals or dogs or pit bulls in particular. However, the heartless manner in which a dying animal is tossed away like garbage is not only reprehensible but the increase that we have seen indicates a downward spiral of compassion, moral fiber and ethics.

The 22 story apartment building is equipped with garbage chutes on each floor for tenants. Someone had no more use for this dog. They had starved it to near death, put it in a garbage bag and threw it down the garbage chute. A maintenance worker cleans out the bin every few days and on Wednesday, March 16th, they were cleaning out the contents of the container to go directly into a trash compacter. The bag moved a little and the worker opened it to find a moribund dog inside — pathetically thin, cold and near death.

The City of Newark Animal Control was contacted and ACO Arthur Skinner picked up the dog and brought him directly to the Society. The veterinary staff immediately put him on intravenous fluid.His temperature was so low that it did not even register on the thermomenter. He was covered with heating pads and blnakets. Society vet tech Gina DeSalvo held the pit bull in her arms — she soothed him, gave him warmth, comfort and bits of food. From that moment on, he looked up with gratitude in his eyes to all of the staff.

Wrapped in blankets, on a heating pad, and given fluids and attention from staff, Patrick pulled through his first 24 hours.

After a brief time at the Society’s Newark facility, he was ambulanced to Garden State Veterinary Specialists in Tinton Falls — a referral hospital with 24 hour emergency care. If he died during that night, we feel he would know that everyone loved and cared about him and treated him gently and lovingly. He amazed everyone at the Society and at Garden State by surviving with the 24 hour emergency care that they rendered. He was given a blood transfusion, a bath — and even a walk! In honor of the first day of his re-birth, we call him Patrick — in honor of St. Patrick’s Day and we hope he has the luck of the Irish!.
