Abused Dog, help

[CaliFarmsAR]

Hey y’all, I need help.

We have a neighbor who used to have a few dogs. They bred them a lot and it was just a puppy mill to make money, they also didn’t let the mom dog have her puppies.
Well, this year the mom dog (looked like a herding dog mix) died, she was ALWAYS chained to a tree, no water or food in sight. She lost a TON of weight and was nothing but bones and they still bred her, I believe she was pregnant when she passed away… I saw her dead by the tree (a sickening sight).

One of the first litters of puppies that were born, they kept one, his dad was a Rottweiler. Well, after his mom died, they now have him chained to the tree where she once was, I want to cry every time I drive by and see him, he is now nothing but bones, instead of a big and handsome pup. He also has a bad hip, I don’t know if he has hip problems or they hurt him, he didn’t have it before. Also, I estimate his age around 2-3. What can I do?? I don’t want him to die like his mum, and I told him I’ll to everything I can to save him. Please help me!

Animal Control, Humane Society or some rescue group.

I haven’t yet, we are in between two counties and I don’t know which one to call

Just try one, and worse that happens is you have to call the other, or best case they take care of it.

Just call one, explain the location and they should help with figuring out who to call if they aren't in the area to do so

 

[CaliFarmsAR]

Okay, I will try one

I would definitely call animal control or something. Do keep in mind that you may have to wait until tomorrow since a lot of places are closed on Christmas.
