A Pit bull with his muzzle wired shut showed up on a familyโs porch looking desperately for someone to help him. Thankfully, Sgt. Bryan McFarlane with the Orange County Virginia Animal Shelter in Orange, Virginia responded and rushed โWyattโ to the emergency vet.
Someone had wrapped the dogโs muzzle very tightly with a wire. As a result, his muzzle was swollen, and the wire had cut through his lower cheeks. He could not even open his mouth to eat a piece of a hot dog. He also has broken teeth and mange.
After vets expertly tended to his wounds he was taken to the shelter to recover. Shelter staff said they hadnโt seen a case of animal abuse as severe as Wyattโs in a long time.
Despite the abuse, Wyattโs turnaround in the few weeks heโs been at the shelter is amazing. Heโs goofy, loves playing with toys and adores getting attention from the staff. They fundraised for dental surgery and supporters stepped up.
โThanks to all of you for the love and support for our sweet boy Wyatt!! He had his dental and has recovered wonderfully,โ the shelter wrote on Facebook.
Not only has Wyatt gotten the medical care he needs, heโs now up for adoption. The shelter writes, โHe is now in search of a very special family that will love and spoil him for the rest of his life! He is about 2 years old and seems fine with most dogs he meets. He is a little too interested in kitties so a kitty free home pls! He seems to be housebroken as well. If interested, please go to the county website and fill out the pre-adoption application and email to the director.โ
