A young, beautiful, healthy dog was put on death row and murdered before he had a chance to be pulled by a rescue. He suffered in extreme heat, outside, no water, food in his own feces....NOW HE'S DEAD....KILLED BEFORE OTHER SHELTERS EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO PULL HIM AND SAVE HIM!

WHERE ARE THE ANIMAL CRUELTY CHARGES AGAINST THE PEOPLE WHO DID THIS TO HIM? THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SHELTER? WHAT IS WITH THE BLUE BOX--THAT ONLY MEANS THEY'VE GIVEN UP ON THE DOG AND DECIDE TO MAKE HIM SUFFER.....WHILE HE COULD STILL BE RESCUED.

I'M CRYING FOR HIS BEAUTIFUL SOUL AND FOR ALL THE OTHER ANIMALS THAT HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME FATE! PLEASE, PLEASE STOP THIS CRUELTY!

BRUCE IS SITTING WITH AN EMPTY WATER
BOWL. HIS KIBBLE HAS BEEN CALLOUSLY

THROWN ON TOP OF HIS DRIED FECES
INCHES AWAY FROM WHERE HE’S SITTING.

HIS EYES ARE CLOSED AND HE’S PANTING.

WHY? THE BLUE BOX CELL IS OUTSIDE IN
THE SWELTERING HEAT.

NO ATTEMPTS ARE MADE FOR DEATH ROW

DOGS LIKE BRUCE TO STAY COOL

THROUGHOUT THE UNGODLY HEAT OF THE
DAY. THEY SIT OUTSIDE LIKE THIS FOR
DAYS AT THE AV DEATH CAMP.

UNWANTED. UNCARED FOR. DISCARDED
LIKE TRASH.”
Days before the scheduled euthanasia, the dogs taken to the Blue Box have their adoption profile removed – which makes it nearly impossible for them to be saved. Bruce is reported to be alive TODAY (9/12/2023) but he must be saved by day’s end or his pitiful existence will be ended. TOO LATE....BRUCE HAS BEEN KILLED.

PLEASE HELP!

SINCERELY,

DON & MARIE HENDON
LAKE VILLA, IL 60046
