I recently came across this story from Paws For Compassion and I wanted this opportunity to learn more about Billie and help in anyway I can.

For those who are not familiar with Paws For Compassion. They are a team that focused on raising local awareness of the cat and dog meat trade, keeping pets safe, offering free spay/neuter services to pet owners and local businesses, and rescuing animals in need. 

Billie's Story From Paws For Compassion:

"This little puppy was tied up outside her house day and night, at only 2 months old! Our outreach team tried to speak to the owners to improve her living conditions but she suddenly disappeared after New Year. We were worried about what could have happened to her and feared the worst.

Two weeks ago, she reappeared in the same location, not tied to a tree but cramped in a small cage. A concerned neighbor contacted us after hearing her crying at night and seeing her terrified by a rat that had gotten into her cage. Our outreach team decided to act right away before she disappeared again.

Poor Billie looked so bad that we weren’t even sure it was the same puppy we had met 2 months earlier. Her whole body was covered in rashes and wounds. After a brief chat with her owner, we understood that he did care for her but didn’t know how to look after her properly. He explained that he had tried to treat her skin but to no avail. He quickly agreed to let us take her, and Billie went straight into the care of one of our experienced foster families."
