Spike was hidden away in the corner of a yard, not visible to anyone walking by. His kennel was a small enclosure of fencing. The content of the kennel area was filth, debris and excess of feces.
There was no water or food anywhere. When we found Spike in his kennel, we also found a puppy, dead from starvation. 
As you can see in his photos, Spike was also extremely starved and dehydrated. When we offered Spike a small amount of food and lots of water, his tail finally came from between his legs to a high wagging! We were so happy for him! 
We took the starved and deceased puppy to our vet for proper “burial”.
Spike has been at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue for two weeks now and is gaining weight and has been neutered and vaccinated. We are so thankful that he leaves for foster care through Pet Haven on Sunday, January 15th.
Thank you to rescues and transporters for helping these animals who would otherwise have little hope for life. You help us make a difference. Spike is so happy to have love, food, water and clean straw to sleep in! Thank you all,
Karen
