Shock in Nuremberg: 19 traumatized dogs are waiting for help!
In a shocking case of animal cruelty, 19 Chihuahuas were freed from a neglected apartment in Nuremberg. The dogs lived in suboptimal conditions for years and are now severely traumatized, as the Nuremberg animal shelter announced. Photos and videos from the animal shelter show the terrible consequences of their years of isolation: matted fur, crooked claws and teeth in need of repair. None of the animals had been castrated before they were rescued, and the psychological damage is serious because the dogs are barely socialized and not used to harnesses. “The dogs have apparently seen nothing other than the four walls their entire lives,” reported the animal rights activists.
Difficult path of rehabilitation
The rescue operation took place at the end of November, and since then, the shelter's keepers have been working daily to gain the animals' trust. It is currently not possible to adopt the affected dogs because the animals are so far removed from any trust that even walking them is a challenge. “Most of them are hard to touch, and when you want to go outside with them, they react in panic,” explained animal shelter manager Tanja Schnabel. In some cases, the carers 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 response to the rescue was enormous; Numerous people were shocked by the condition of the small dogs and expressed their willingness to help. Although some people have already expressed interest in adopting, placement can only begin once the animals are in a more stable condition. On Monday, the shelter said they are optimistic they will soon be able to schedule the first visits for potential adopters, although an exact time frame cannot be communicated at this time inFranken.de reported. The situation remains tense and everyone involved hopes for a positive turn for the little creatures.
