Beaufort County, SC – The authorities in Beaufort County, SC, are seeking information about a badly neglected dog who was recently rescued from a dumpster. The sheriff’s office said that the miniature poodle was found in a dumpster off of Parker Drive in Burton on Thursday, February 22, 2024. A good Samaritan heard the dog crying from inside a garbage bag that was filled with trash, including dirty diapers.
The authorities have detailed the rescued dog’s health issues, writing:
He is a miniature poodle that weighs 10 pounds. He is neutered and has glaucoma or cataracts in both eyes. He is missing his right hind paw.
His coat was severely matted when he was found and had not been tended to in quite some time.
Noah’s Arks Rescue said that the dog, dubbed Treasure, had two pounds of filthy, matted fur removed from his body after being rescued. In a release, the rescue group said:
I repeat this time and time: why do animals stay alive when their daily existence is pain and torture? It is as if they know someone will come along and save them. Based on Treasure’s condition, he had to have been confined to a kennel for most of his Life. He has been waiting all of his Life to be saved.
