Neglected, abandoned, but look at them now
Yes, those two creatures to the left are dogs.
This neglected and abandoned duo was found back in the fall in a park in Rocky Mount, N.C.
They were filthy, badly matted, stinky and barely able to get around.
“They could not walk, see or use the bathroom, yet someone dumped them in that park in that shape,” Sandy Wright Holt wrote in a Facebook post. “I’ve been in rescue over 10 years and have never come across any animal as neglected as these two were.”
After a trip to a vet, where they were shaved — a process that took hours — and given medical treatment, the two ended up in foster care, arranged by the SPCA Alliance of NC, and they’ve since been placed in an adoptive home.
These days, they go by the names Charley and Marley.
Whoever neglected and abandoned them hasn’t been found.
Just last week, looking like far different dogs, Charley and Marley took part in a fundraiser for a local rescue.
Here’s one more pair of before and after photos.

I wish no ill will on anyone , but whoever did this to these poor souls deserves the wrath… Heartbreaking… And a special thanks to all those foster families out there that give these kids a second chance.
