Shock in Nuremberg: 19 traumatized dogs are waiting for help!

In a shattering case of cruelty to animals, 19 Chihuahuas in Nuremberg were freed from a neglected apartment. The dogs lived in sub -optimal conditions for years and are now very traumatized, as the Nuremberg animal shelter said. Photos and videos from the shelter show the terrible consequences of their years of isolation: matted fur, crooked claws and teeth in need of renovation. None of the animals had been neutered until the rescue, and the psychological damage is serious because the dogs are hardly socialized and are not used to the harness. "Throughout their lives, the dogs have apparently seen nothing other than the four walls," said the animal rights activists.

The rescue operation took place at the end of November, and since then the nurses in the shelter have been working every day to gain the trust of the animals. At the moment, the dogs concerned are not yet possible, since the animals are so far from any trust that even the walk is a challenge. "Most can hardly be touched, and if you want to go outside with them, they react panicked," said animal shelter manager Tanja Schnabel. In some cases, the nurses even have to wear gloves to avoid injuries from wild biting. The shelter appealed to the public to be patient and help the animals through donations and support.

The social media echo on the rescue was enormous; Numerous people were shocked by the condition of the little dogs and expressed their willingness to help. Although some interested parties have already signaled interest in adoption, the mediation can only begin when the animals are in a more stable state. On Monday, the shelter announced that they are optimistic to be able to reconcile the first visits to potential adoptants, although an exact time frame cannot yet be communicated, such as Infranken.de reported. The situation remains tense and everyone involved hopes for a positive turn for the small creatures.
