This story speaks about Rambo, a poor dog, who was used for dog-fighting and then being dᴜᴍᴘᴇᴅ to ᴅ.ɪ.ᴇ, but he did not want to let that happen, he finally survived and is fighting to have the life that he deserves.
Rambo was found by the Every Life Matters Animal Rescue in Rock Hill, South Carolina, on March 23. Casey Lawrence, one of the rescue’s board members and a real estate agent, stumbled upon Rambo after getting lost while showing a property.
Fortunately, Casey found the dog, now named Rambo, in time! Casey Lawrence said that she arrived at the perfect time, as Rambo was in big need of someone to take care of him. She rushed Rambo to Baxter Veterinary Clinic. Rambo was covered with ʙ.ɪ.ᴛ.ᴇ marks, severely injured, and his leg wounds.
The clinic’s staff set to work to try and sᴀᴠᴇ Rambo’s life. They gently cleaned out his wounds. Unfortunately, Rambo isn’t out of the woods yet. His right back leg was so severely injured that it was no use.
Because of the extent of Rambo’s injuries, he was moved to Charlotte Animal Referral & Emergency (CARE) for further treatment. “Both hind limbs have suffered ᴛʀᴀᴜᴍᴀ likely due to ᴛɪᴇs around his ankles,” CARE wrote on the social networks. “He is a trooper and will wag his tail and give kisses despite the aʙᴜsᴇ he has endured.”Doctors worked to get him stabilized and, by his second day in their hands, Rambo was already sitting up and wagging his tail. He also showed some interest in eating, much to the relief of his vets. The rescue says it’s hoping police investigate the area where Casey found Rambo to see if they can find out who is behind the ɪʟʟᴇɢᴀʟ activities.
South Carolina officials are currently investigating Rambo’s case and believe the site where he was found in the woods could be an animal dᴜᴍᴘ site, possibly for other bait dogs. Rambo’s certainly living up to his namesake as a tough guy. Despite all that he’s been through, he’s still keeping his head up, with plenty of kisses to spare. He won’t give the people who did this to him the satisfaction of going out with a whimper.
