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.

The organization listed what their main objectives are: "To strive against animal abandonment, mistreatment, or the suffering of any animal (for use as clothing, food, entertainment or experimentation), to educate people about respecting animals' lives through the presentation of talks and workshops run in both public and private locations. Running free or reduced-cost sterilization campaigns in marginalized areas. Promoting the belief that a mass sterilization campaign which is systematic, extensive, and free is the only ethical method to control pet overpopulation and urging the government to implement such a program. Aiding animals in need, providing treatment and recovery, and facilitating adoption to responsible owners. Provide legal advice to residents involved in cruelty cases. Promote veganism as a philosophy which liberates animals from suffering."
They also try to take any actions to stop animals from suffering. They are trying to educate the general public on the importance of desexing male and female stray animals before their first heat and urging the government to run mass desexing programs because they are a permanent, humane, and sustainable way of managing pet overpopulation.
Here is a story about one of the pups featured in this post. This dog was saved by Proyecto 4 Patas after he was found stuck in tar. Thankfully, with the help of the organization, the pup survived and is now happy and healthy.
Friendly neighborhood spainish speaker: Antes; before , Ahora; now. I hope this poor little pupper is feeling better.
people that do this should be treated the way they treat their animals. end of discussion.
Why aren't they? This is the only reason why people everywhere in this sad world will never find justice and peace. The link between cruelty to animals and violence against people is undeniable!! The human rights, equality, and justice is unattainable without animal rights - never was, never will be. -- "Until he extends the circle of his compassion to ALL living things, man will NOT himself find peace." - Albert Schweitzer (1875 - 1965) German protestant clergymen, music scholar, philosopher, physician. He received the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1953.

I think people who mistreat animals have some very difficult histories. Too sad they take it out on defenseless animals.
Mange is so treatable, though it is not a fast treatment to get rid of the mites. Glad this sweet pup is safe and hopefully still healthy.
God bless the people that helped this precious fur baby heal and be happy
To see the happy healthy smiling faces at the end is so heart warming
Many animals suffer in today's world; that's why it's so important to have organizations like Proyecto 4 Patas that help our furry friends out. If you can, please consider donating to this amazing cause.
There are many other animal protection organizations out there. You could also consider volunteering at one near your home or buying them food and other supplies. If you ever want to extend your family with a fluffy companion, try going to an animal shelter. Perhaps you will find your future best friend there.
I cant believe the pain he must have gone through..I hope he goes past that trauma and lives a better life
What do you think of these puppy transformations? Tell us in the comments and don't forget to love and care for the animals around you. If you see anyone treating their pet or a stray poorly, please step in.
he must've been starved to near death, glad he's alive and well :>

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
some of these before pics though, its just so sad, it was hard reading through this article😥😔
It was. I couldn't go on reading after seeing the first ten pictures of all those poor neglected souls...

What I really love about the transformations, is their eyes. Before, they showed nothing but hopelessness, despair, sadness...but the after pics...Oy Vey! I can't handle all the happy sniffers and shiny snack seekers...
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.
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.
What kind of sick awful monsters would do this to a sweet animal? Thank you to this organization for helping these poor pups. ❤
They're all goods boys. I love seeing how happy they are now that their well taken care off.
.....any cancer need to be fought and defeated. Join the fight, please.

Whoever can scroll down this and doesn't have to cry is hardly a human. Damned, what are people capable of? Why? How does one get ... so...?

They’re completely different dogs! 🤩 So adorable. 🥰 Thank you to everyone who helped rescue, protect, save and adopt animals! 🐕
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 !
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.

Keep saving and healing animals. You are so badly needed in this world.
..... and so are you needed, Chris. These animal organizations depend on donations of compassionate people in order to save innocent animals.

I hope all abusers that may have contributed to the hell that any of these angels suffered has or will die a painful, agonizing end to their lives. T
I quit after the 3rd picture. I don't plan on doing this kind of behavior & I couldn't bear to see anymore!
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!
Poor pups. I'm so glad they've got to experience the good life. Many probably die without ever knowing anything but misery and pain.
.... and people who do not suck must fight those "people" who do suck.

People who are cruel to animals have a hot place in Hell waiting for them...
...... yes, Courtney, "we" are destroying this world.... "we" are causing enormous pain and suffering to animals, "we" all need to be responsible and compassionate consumers. "We" need to stop being apathetic monsters.

"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.
