This story comes from Second Chance Rescue:
Wooly was abandoned over a year ago in Dallas, TX, and was finally captured in November of this year. He was frozen with fear and in absolutely horrific shape: cuts and wounds all over his body and face, a missing front foot and an injured back leg that he was forced to drag behind him. Neighbors to the area he was found in told us that he had a bear claw trap caught on his foot for weeks until it finally fell off, together with the foot.
What we didn’t know is how extensive his injuries were until he was brought in for medical treatment. Due to the massive amounts of open wounds on his body, he was shaved down and it became evident that Wooly had been fighting for his life since the day he was abandoned. His face is a map of scars; his body shows the trauma he endured for over a year. Due to the bear claw trap attached to his foot, Wooly was never able to fight back when he was attacked by other dogs, wild animals and humans who meant him harm.
Thanks to the amazing work of our Dallas partners, Wooly finally knew what it was like to be safe. He is now in foster in NY and has continued making the progress he started while in foster in TX. But it will be a long road to recovery.
Wooly is still fearful and he is still in pain, but he is improving daily. Every day he becomes a little braver, every day he manages to test his limits just a little bit more. We are behind Wooly every step of the way, no matter how long it takes.
Now Wooly needs your help. His leg is infected and he reinjures his stump daily. He is scheduled for amputation surgery this week.
Please stand behind him with us, help him rise and live the life he so deserves. He will never be lonely again, he will never long for love or go another night without a meal. He will only know kindness and compassion, his worst days are behind him and it’s up to us to make up for lost time. While we cannot begin to imagine what his past has been like and the demons he has faced, we can ensure his future is warm and filled with love.
Please share and donate from your heart. As always your donations are tax deductible and your contributions allow us to continue giving dogs like Wooly their second chance.

The neighbors seeing this and not doing anything about it should be charged. Counts as animal cruelty.
Why would the neighbors spend weeks watching this and not do something about it. Shameful!
That’s horrible neighbors watched him suffer !
Wow! And the neighbours left him all this time without help? Do not you love humans with their insensitive feelings and passiveness when innocent and helpless souls are suffering?
Why the F didn’t those douche bag neighbors get him to a vet at once instead of watching him suffer!!!!! WTF!
The “neighbors” are just as atfault as the former “owners” and should be prosecuted.
where was this … neighbors are heartless aholes
Great neighbors!!!!
Watched for weeks?
Why didn’t the neighbors help him immediately instead of leaving him to suffer for weeks?
Awwwww…
Prayers sweet brave baby…with love.
Watched for weeks, hmmm, smh!!
Why didn’t the neighbors help the poor dog instead of watching him for weeks?
I need to have a word, along with my two friends, (Louisville and Slugger), with the “neighbors” who watched this pitifully cruel event unfold. What person, with a beating heart, could just watch the horror of what happened to this pup???
That’s very careless neighbour and stupid watching the dog suffer in pain for a few weeks you should be ashamed of yourselfs
What disgusting people to watch this dog suffer! Hoping for the best for Wooly…
Nice neighbors. Such cruel a**holes
FUCKING NEIGHBORS,LIKE ALWAYS
Traps. Lets make this abomination illegal this year. If it’s not okay for your dog or cat to suffer and die in one it shouldn’t be okay for any animal to. Cowards and lazy people use traps.
Asshole neighbors!
Beautiful baby, so sorry humans failed you. Never again
With neighbours like them who needs enemies? Seriously demented & cruel POG.
Holy crap, how do you watch a dog suffer like that without doing something? I don’t get it.
Great people. Let a dog suffer like that. Should be ashamed. That sweet baby. Thank you for helping him. Let us know how Wooley is doing.
thats so sad ,put them in a trap and see how it feels ,poor puppy ,hope hes ok <3
Why the fuck did the neighbors just watched?? Smh. I don’t get that.
I hate people
How the hell could they know this and not help this poor dog. WTF is wrong with people. I pray this beautiful dog finds a wonderful, compassionate family, who will love him for the rest of his life.
Poor baby why did they just watch and not help him ??
WTh and the neighbors did nothing but watch this dog suffer! OMG they should be arrested for animal abuse! What the hell is wrong with these people? If they weren’t smart enough to do something at least call someone who would! Grrrr this really makes my blood boil, and these fools probably have children too!!
Wtf is wrong with people!
Omg poor baby. Best wishes for 2016 x
Makes me sick that people could witness this and not help.
What is the matter with people, can I put the neighbours in the same trap and watch
Hope he will heal in all ways. Trapping needs to be outlawed now!!!!! It is beyond cruel and inhumane.
?????
Idiots, would they leave a child caught in a trap for weeks before getting help, shame on them.
How the hell can neighbors just watch a dog in pain and not do anything to help???????
Tell the nieghbors they suck at life
For the neighbors who let that dog suffer I have a wish for you: May the full horror of what you have done be visited upon you, soonest!
Those people who did this and the ones who watched aught to be shot!
I say do the same to owner or neighbors who did nothing for that poor baby.
Shitty person who put out the trap and an even shittier group of “neighbors” who watched an animal suffer and did NOTHING!
all these people who watched as he suffered should be hung till death, fucking stupid pricks
prosecute the neighbors
Stupid useless neighbors How can u breath knowing your evil little asses …… God bless Wooly”s saviours
Claw traps are illegal have been for years
I agree why did neighbors do nothing they were cruel!! They could have st minimum called animal control this is do sad I can’t even imagine the pain the dog suffered. I will pray for the dog, Andrew for the neighbors what goes around comes around. Someday they will meet their maker-cruelty is hard you explain at the rainbow bridge which God and Angeles oversee
Good god almighty there are some useless bloody humans on this planet. Poor suffering dog. Hope his life improves rapidly. ♡
Why are there bear traps they are illegal
Shared on Nanny Bow Wow Rescue Page
WTH??? Are they idiots? or just hate dogs? Disgusting! They should pay a fine for watching him suffer!!
How could you sit, watch & do nothing? I would’ve stolen the dog & rescued him. People truly suck!
:'(
OMG watch as he suffered? Hope those people burn in hell sickening to think no one would help .Praying
Check air traps illegal in 49 States the only state that allows their traps is Alaska and even there it’s not bear traps there are certain kinds of traps that would not make an animal suffer and the people are required to check these traps every day
Neighbors watched him suffer??? What’s wrong with people? Trap there face.
Trapping should be illegal it’s cruel. Better to shoot game quicker
Those are some pos neighbors
Why would the neighbours not help this poor dog. Shame on you all!!!
What???!!! How cruel. Yes why didn’t they call police?
The owners of the house in front of ours left their German Shepherd on the property and I guess had each new tenant agree to take care of him. Being a shepherd he began getting lame in his rear legs and he would cry. The tenants didn’t care so I reported the situation to the humane society and HPD. They contacted the landlord who said the dog was alright but they were to take the dog to the vet and show them the vet’s report. They said the dog was too big to take so they had to find a vet to come to the property. Poor dog was taken away and I’m sure was put down. He was old and in so much pain he couldn’t walk.
Why did the neighbors watch him suffer call the authorities so this poor dog could get some help gee’s. Glad he was finally rescued
Just watched??? Really??? Shame on them!!!
Pray he gets it.
Poor baby thank God he’s in better hands now!
Sad statement. Neighbors knew he was caught in a bear trap, and he suffered for so long.
What do you mean they watched him? I do not get this, and I never will. Humans I just don’t get it.
I’ll donate a baseball bat to beat some humanity into those subhuman neighbors.
gee thanks to the neighbors.Wooly doesnt trust a soul and is missing a foot.Very sad.But Im glad he is getting back to normal if that will ever happen!

How can people just sit by and let this happen? Why could u not gel this poor baby? Shame on all of u that watched this.

This poor boy, can’t believe no one helped him in all that time 🙁
Good God, can you imagine the pain that dog endured until the foot fell off!? why couldn’t the witnesses set him free or get help sooner!? thank God he is safe now!
So thankful he is safe and loved now.. those disgusting pieces of shit that watched the suffering and doing nothing. . Karma is a bitch one way or another. Walk on eggshells scumbags, you never know what will happen.
I hope he gets it!
There are some really evil shitty humans in this world 🙁 sorry you had to endure so much pain puppy but you are in safe hands now 🙂 God bless you for saving him xx
What kind of neighbors were these bastards??? Slime!!!
As usual people being assholes, let’s all watch a dog caught in a trap and do nothing, ducking retards I’d like to put the trap around the person that did this AND the neighbors that did nothing
