This Poor, Starving Dog Almost Didn't Make It, But He Was Rescued Just In Time


People who work for animal rescue organizations have to be able to brace themselves against all kinds of heartbreaking stories. Yet sometimes, even the most hardened veterans of animal rescues are thrown by cases like that of Odysseus.




Found tied to a fence outside a church in Fulton County, Georgia, Odysseus was severely malnourished.






He weighed only 28 pounds when he was rescued, and his condition moved workers to tears.






Odysseus needed immediate emergency care, and thanks to the workers at Angels Among Us Pet Rescue, he’s on the road to recovery.






Rescuers think Odysseus may be a boxer mix, but he was so emaciated, they couldn’t really tell. They’ll likely have a better idea of his breed when he’s healthier.






He’s been through a lot, but he’s still a sweetheart despite his hardships.

Angels Among Us is currently accepting donations to fund Odysseus’ recovery and treatments, as well as for other animals in need. You can learn more about this organization on their website and on Facebook.
