Tying dogs with ropes and chains is a common problem we see here. As they continue to grow they get slowly strangled by the rope/chain and it cuts into the tissues and becomes infested with maggots. Unfortunately, because our quarantine was full, we had to wait a couple of weeks before we could bring her in. In the meantime, the reporter had begun to feed her and gain her trust so she was easy to capture when we went to get her. Alix is such a friendly sweet dog. We think she was born around Feb 2020. She gets on really well with other dogs and people and has a LOT of energy. She always wants to play!
