Cruelly abandoned and left tied to a tree...

Marble was left tied to a tree in a London park. We don’t know how long she was there but thankfully someone found her and brought her to us. When she arrived she was just skin and bone, her claws were badly overgrown and she had painful, open wounds on her ears. She was frightened of everyone. What had this elderly dog done to deserve this?

With regular meals and a lot of TLC, Marble's condition improved and she found a loving new family.
