30 Before And After Photos Of Abandoned Dogs That Were Given A Second Chance At Life By This Organization
Animals are amazing life companions that most of us love and care for. Sadly, that's not always the case, because there are cruel and heartless people in this world who treat animals like objects with no emotions or things that don't feel pain.
This animal protection NGO called Proyecto 4 Patas takes those mistreated animals and gives them a second chance at life. They heal them, give them love, and find them families that will take good care of them.
"We promote an attitude of respect towards all living animal species and support an ethical premise that they are sentient beings and not objects to be used by humans. We reject all kinds of animal exploitation including their use as clothing, food, entertainment, or for experimental purposes," says the organization on their website.

People that treat animals like this, or get no help for them have a special place in hell. I hope they all get new forever homes. I have a rescue. The a******s who had him tried to drown him and his brother & sister in a bag in the river. He's a pain in the butt sometimes, but I wouldn't be without him. #adoptdontshop

God Bless these selfless people. In a world filled with greed, narcissism and hate - these people are the standard bearers of hope and love. Love you guys.

I can't stand looking at before pics. Poor creatures are so helpless, so sad, so suffering! They made me cry even though they are happy now. I would personally hit with a shovel every person who abuses dogs. I would hit many times.
Kathryn Baylis 6 years ago
I’ll bring the shovel, and even hold them down while you take aim. Yeah, they make my blood boil too, and I’m usually pretty mild mannered.

There is an "organization" called "Cuddly" that "solicits" donations for all animals in need. They send me, daily, emails with stories and pictures of dogs and cats who need help. And, yes, I do donate. A lot. If you ever get an email from "Cuddly" please open it and donate. I would have and will take/n any or all of these pups. Five of my six are all rescues.

I don't know why I look at these types of posts. I HATE seeing animals abused. The after pics make me feel better but not a lot. People who do these things to animals should be in jail. This is no less cruel than what's done to humans. Hopefully, in the end, we'll be judged by how we treat our animals. When I see pics like this, it makes me want to go hug my rescue dog.

I am thrilled that there is a force in the world that saves these precious doggies !
Christina Uhlir 6 years ago
This force depends on donations of people, please donate to animal causes. There will be no human rights, no equality, no justice for humans without animal rights - their right to be treated humanely and respected as sentient beings. No marching, no protesting will bring peace, justice, and health to people.....never did, never will.

I heartily wish pest and cholera for eternity on those creatures (you can't call them human) that mistreat animals. How evil must you be to make innocent beings suffer? And most heartbreaking of all is that these rescues not only hold no grudge but are so grateful to people for the attention. Animal cruelty can't be punished severely enough!

"Thank you" Marnie for letting us know. What the stories you need? There is enormous pain and suffering in this world of the innocent sentient beings.... that is the story. "We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. TRUE humanity does NOT allow us to impose such suffering on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will NOT find peace." - Albert Schweitzer (1875 - 1965) German protestant clergyman, music scholar, philosopher, physician. He received the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1953.
