Helping with an Alleged Cruelty Case
Sailor is one of the nearly 100 dogs and puppies seized in an alleged cruelty case at a high-volume breeder in Hertford County, North Carolina in May 2023. Although the dogs being bred were mostly Aussies, this girl was also found on the property. Clearly different than the other dogs, she was identified as a beagle mix. Frankly, we’re not sure how much beagle is in there, if any, but when the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) reached out to ask if we could help Sailor leave their busy care center and get into a foster home, we were happy to help.
Sailor is 1.5 years old and likely born on the property. While with HSUS Sailor had gained some much-needed weight and has gotten healthy. She weighs 43 lbs, up from 26.6 when she was pulled from the property. She LOVES other dogs and is very playful. However, she is a little shy with people. Her love of treats has gone a long way to helping her get comfortable with people and she is now accepting petting and learning to walk on a leash. This super sweet girl just needs a chance to learn to trust and feel what it’s like to be loved. We are honored to be part of her journey to living a Happy Life!
