Last month, residents of a Madrid, Spain, neighborhood discovered a young dog trapped inside a garbage container and not being able to rescue the dog themselves, they called authorities to make them aware of the abused animal.

Workers from Sevemur, a Madrid Emergency Veterinary Service, arrived at the scene and were able to rescue the dog.

The pet was transported to an emergency clinic where veterinarians found the pooch suffered from dehydration, diarrhea and a swollen snout. Rescuers also feared the young animal also suffered from other bacterial diseases like parvo, but after running medical tests, no bacterial infections were found in the puppy’s system.

There are no leads on who might have abused and dumped Robbin. Rescue workers just hope the puppy finds a loving forever home in a few weeks when he is given a clean bill of health.

A garbage man from Muncie, Indiana found something heartbreaking while he was working. Michael Upchurch was just emptying the trash bins when he heard a puppy crying. Then he noticed something moving under a blue trash bag. He ripped it open and saw a puppy. The puppy’s previous owner said he thought the puppy died of Parvo. But it turns out, the puppy didn’t have parvo; he was just starving. His blood sugar levels were so low that the puppy passed out. So his previous owner tossed him to the garbage can. Luckily, somebody found the poor pup. Watch the video below for the full story!

The puppy was originally named Newton after town he was found. A foster parent took in the sickly puppy and for two months helped treat him for malnutrition, flea infestation and a severe case of mange.

Just two months later, Newton was unrecognizable.

Ant Latimer visited Hout Bay NPO in June because he was interested in adopting a dog in the upcoming months. The new pet parent wasn’t planning on walking out of the center with a dog that day, but after meeting Newton, now named Enzo, and learning his story, the man couldn’t resist taking the pet home.

“There were about 20 dogs in the kennels and when I entered, they went completely crazy,” Latimer told News 24. “They started to attack one of the puppies, who was lying flat on his back as the others lunged at him. That little one being bitten is now my little Enzo. I held him in my arms and [after seeing] photos of how he looked when he was brought in – near death and without any fur – I knew I had to take him home.”

Enzo has grown to be quite mischievous. His new dad says the dog enjoys chewing on shoes, challenging dogs twice his size and eating lots of food.

“His appetite is costing me a fortune but he is a joy to have around,” said Latimer.

No one expected the shy little dog from the pile of garbage to turn into the active ball of energy Enzo is today. Latimer can’t imagine life without his dog and Darg is extremely happy they saved and placed the dog in an ideal forever home.

Police and firefighters arrived to the garbage bin located on the 20th block of Ferrocarril Street. They tried to reach the scared and trapped dog but couldn’t. Rescuers needed a key to unlock the bin’s locked doors. The city’s waste management office was contacted and soon a representative arrived with a key to open the bin.

Once the container was opened, rescuers learned the dog was placed inside a double and tightly knotted bag. Whoever tossed the dog wanted to make sure the pet had no way out and no chance of survival. Fortunately, the dog was saved.

Firefighters scanned the pet for a microchip and none was found. The dog, now named Abu, was transported to a local veterinarian where it was determined he is 15 years old, deaf, almost blind and suffers from an enlarged heart.

Community members rallied together to collect funds to pay for Abu’s medical needs. The senior dog is currently under the care of a rescue group (Defaniva) and is enjoying proper care and love in a foster home.

Animal rescuers hope to find Abu a forever home where he could enjoy the last of his days, which could just be a few months.

The man called authorities and police officers were dispatched to United Home Supply located on South Hoyt Avenue. Muncie Animal Shelter workers assisted police in rescuing the discarded dog. They helped transport the puppy back to the shelter.

The dumpster dog was named Miles and found in good health. Rescuers said the young dog was very scared at first but once he felt safe and was surrounded by loving people, the puppy started to come out of his shell.

On January 31st, Muncie Animal Shelter announced on their Facebook page that Miles had found a new loving home:

Mr. West visited the dog at the shelter a few days after he helped rescue the pet. In 1978, the West family rescued a stray lab mix they found wandering outside their family business just before the ’78 blizzard. They named that dog Blizzard and after founding Miles this January, the family considered welcoming him to their home too. However, the shelter did not confirm the West family is Miles’s new adopters.

On November 25, 2014, Karen Herrera from Fontana, Calif., found a white and brown female dog inside a garbage bag tossed on the side of the road. The dog had endured abuse at the hands of her owner prior to getting discarded with the garbage. The dog’s body had multiple bite wounds and patches of missing fur, yet, she had somehow survived the unimaginable and patiently waited on the side of the road for a helping hand.

According to a news release from the Fontana Police Department, Herrera was on an early morning walk when she encountered the injured dog.

“She was there inside the bag. She was scared and cold,” said Herrera. “I patted her on the back of her spine and she started bleeding.”

The Good Samaritan contacted police and waited for officers to come get the injured dog.

The dog has been named Gladys, and authority rushed her to General Dog and Cat Hospital in San Bernardino where she was treated for her injuries. Veterinarians determined she suffers from mange and believe the bite wounds were inflicted because she was probably used as a bait dog while training other larger and stronger dogs fro dog fighting.

Authorities do not know who Gladys’s abusers are, but there is an open investigation and they hope to capture the dog’s abusers.

Glady’s is now recovering at Sunshine Haven Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation and her health has improved significantly. Her mange is clearing up, her bite wounds are healing and she is getting along well with the other dog’s at the center.
