Dwayne the pointer mix was found homeless and badly deformed after his abusive caretaker cruelly used wire as a muzzle to tie the dog’s mouth shut.
This cruel owner was jailed (for unrelated incidents), leaving Dwayne to roam the streets trying to survive. Frightened by his deformed appearance, locals threw rocks and even hot water at poor Dwayne. The dog’s luck grew even worse when he was attacked by two dogs who almost ripped his ears off.
But Dwayne’s luck turned around when a kind person rescued him from the streets and brought him to the Helen Woodward Animal Center.
Due to his sweet nature, Dwayne was loved by workers of the animal center and locals alike; people flocked to dote on this battered animal, who received $40,000 in donations to treat his wounds. Not only was his muzzle deformed, but Dwayne had injuries all along his body from the abuse he endured.
Dwayne could not be adopted immediately due to the extensive medical treatment needed to bring him to good health. He needed multiple procedures, which were performed by an excellent veterinary team who helped Dwayne recover from his severe abuse.
In addition, not just anybody could adopt Dwayne; the Helen Woodward Animal Center had many criteria that the adopting family would need to meet.
After three months of rehabilitation, Dwayne’s story finally got a happy ending: a woman named Kelly welcome him into her family! After a tear-filled adoption ceremony, Dwayne was able to go to his forever home.
Dwayne’s adoption application included several parts about his medical issues, so Kelly knows what to expect and has promised to love Dwayne and take care of all his needs.
Despite how hard it was for the staff at Woodward to let him go, they were happy to see Dwayne find a caretaker who can provide the love and care that he deserves.
Lets wire the abuser’s mouth shut and see how they like it.
Que gente de mal corazon que ganan con dañar a los animales supongo que todo mal llega y espero que les llegue bien fuerte y se acuerden del daño que hicieron
Thrilled by another happy ending for an abused, sweet dog !
Finally a happy ending to a sad beginning. Love reading these.stories. Have a great life Dwayne.
Thank God poor sweet baby was rescued.
Bisognerebbe fare la stessa cosa ai coglioni dell’autore!!
Oh poor angel. I’m so glad he and Kelly found each other.
So happy for you Dwayne. Sorry that you had to go through the torture that you did though in order to get your happy ending. People who abuse animals are disgusting and should be locked away for life.
Thanks to all who helped save this dog and to the wonderful woman who gave him a loving, forever home. Such cruelty is inexcusable. I hope this man had many more years tacked on to his previous record.
My god! Thank you, you’re awesome people!!!!
Who ever did this BARBARIC ACT 2 Dwayne should be punished severely!!!! Thank god he has a new home& life God Bless Dwayne & his new owner Best of Luck 2 all, EW????????????????
I am so happy for Dwayne! There are still good people in this world filled with so much cruelty and pain. Why are we doing this to helpless animals? All they have ever wanted is love and that is all they give.
I can’t understand the cruelty of some people! But I am so hart warmed by the capacity of our closest animal friend to trust again and the out pouring of money and love he has receved
beautiful story !!! we need to make a pression of the lawmakers to punish severy the people who torture the animals !!! I have a hope in the humanity when I see the case like this one : Dwayne’s story !!
God bless Dwayne and Kelly with a happy and long friendship!
Sounds like they know the identity of the loser person who did this tot Dwayne, Muzzle him and give him the fines and prison sentence he deserves-these pictures are your proof! Prison animal lovers are waiting for your action.
A person is made aware constantly of the presence of evil. The cruelty this dog has endured, at the hands of his demented owner and other people who were no better, is difficult to bear. The owner has committed a felony and he should be sentenced. I hope in the name of justice for this poor dog that this will happen. The happy ending is great; thanks to the people at the Helen Woodward Animal Center who took the issues seriously.
A very big thanku to the people involved in his rescue and recovery. Thanku Kelly for giving this fur baby a forever home. The bastards who threw hot water and rocks at him should have the same done to them. I hope that they are jailed. The sub human owner should have his mouth wired shut and be charged with animal abuse.
A big thanku to the lady who took him to the Helen Woodward Animal Centre, to the rescue workers and vets who nursed him back to health and finally to Kelly who gave this poor fur baby a loving forever home. Shame on those sub humans who threw hit water and rocks at him may the same happen to you. I hope you are all caught and prosecuted to the fullest exten of the law. As for the owner I hope somebody tapes their mouth shut. I hope they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law as well.
Thank you for taking a dog so greatly needing true love. It take a person with a big heart to look past the bad things knowing what it to come.
THANK YOU
It is so sad that some people would throw rocks and hot water at this poor dog in San Diego California. Shame on them. They ought to know better. I thought this had to be in some third world country but when I saw San Diego, i was shocked. i am so glad this poor baby found love and a good home. Hopefully the idiot who did this to him will rot in jail or never come out.
Cheryl..I didn’t know it happened in San Diego, thank you for posting that (I still don’t see it in the article). I feel the same as you, even more shocked. I too thought this MUST be on another country. I don’t understand how they continued to abuse this poor dog instead of trying to help him. Seems people are getting worse every day.
So heartbreaking but yet ecstatic that this poor boy finally has a home with love.
thank you to the rescuers and caretakers and finally to Kelly.
thank you to all that saved and adopted this beautiful dog. God bless you all.
thank God for loving humans. this story is heart warming. Thank you Kelly. you are a Godsend and thank you to the rescuers and caretakers that saved this beautiful dog.
Wish I knew where this happened and why the previous owner wasn’t charged with animal abuse? Any chance of letting us know where this took place? I’m also shocked at the cruelty of the people who instead of trying to help this poor dog, threw hot water and rocks at him?!? Because they were frightened? No..Because they are cruel non human things. Please post where this took place.. *Thank you Kelly!! You’ve given Dwayne tge life he finally deserves!!
I know! I am disgusted that this happened in the US. Shame on you whoever you are, karma will surely throw rocks and pour hot water on you when you are in need. I sincerely hope!!!!
The person who wired this poor dog’s muzzle shut should receive additional jail time for animal cruelty AND be forced to pay for the medical treatment necessary to fix the problem.. And this monstrous person should NEVER be allowed to own an animal again.
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR LOVING THIS INNOCENT DOG. HOPEFULLY THE ABUSER WILL BE PROSECUTED.
TGE GALARNEAU FAMILY
Please dont let me ever ever come across the phyco that did this to this poor animal. Tbey will be sorry they were ever born
I would so love to meet the scum! Death would be a preferable option as to what I have in mind for cretins such as this!!!!
