When Elvira was found, she was the only survivor of a horrific scene. Surrounding the pup were the decaying bodies of dogs who had been victims of the nightmare.

Elvira was alive, but barely hanging on. The emaciated pup was taken to a shelter, but they knew they didn’t have the proper resources to care for the dog who so desperately needed a second chance. So, they reached out to Dogs Deserve Better, a rescue that is dedicated to the rehabilitation of abused and neglected dogs.
