Justice for Roxanne – tied to a heavy chain her entire life!

This poor dog was wandering on the streets of Columbia, South Carolina in terrible pain. The one-year-old female pit bull terrier was in terrible condition and could be seen dragging a six-pound chain behind her (the chain was tightly wrapped around her neck, leaving her artery exposed). Her head was also grossly swollen and she was simply clinging to life.

A kind-hearted person decided not to ignore the pooch. Pawmetto, a local animal rescue group, was called to the scene to pick up the dog. Staff and volunteers were simply shocked at the sight of the wounded animal. They were overwhelmed by emotions and decided they needed back up; they immediately called the Rescue Dogs Rock NYC for emergency help. In an emotional Facebook post, the co-founder of the latter rescue group recalls the moment she received the pictures with the dog.

Everything just seems to stop for a moment when you see something this awful, you need a few moments to get your composure back. You in shock and need to take a time-out to take it all in.

The 50-pound dog was named Roxanne. Not much is known about her previous owner at this point. It is clear that the chain she was forced to wear was enormous – about 10 per cent of her entire body weight. According to an update, Roxanne survived the surgery. However, she remains in very serious condition, with her head still extremely swollen. 95 per cent of her neck had to be patched up, according to the last medical bulletin that was released to the public.

My heart is literally broken for this poor dog. Please send your good thoughts to Roxanne and hope she survives. She is in just so much pain right now; it is absolutely terrible to think that a human being is capable of doing this to a harmless dog.

Take action now to ensure local law enforcement commence an investigation into this matter as soon as possible and Roxanne’s prior owner will be brought to justice and pay for what he did to this beautiful dog!
