Rescuers Stunned Upon Discovering a Cold, Helpless Dog Chained in Deserted Yard
Winters in St. Louis, Missouri, can be quite brutal, with temperatures dropping to the single digits, which is just terrible for stray animals.
That’s where the dedicated team at Stray Rescue of St. Louis (SRSL) comes in. They tirelessly comb the city for dogs in distress, especially during those bone-chilling January days.
During one of their searches, they happened to come across an abandoned house. Upon closer inspection, they discovered a little soul left behind, desperately in need of their immediate assistance.

As SRSL rescuers pulled up to an abandoned house during their search, they expected to find just that – an abandoned house. However, they quickly realized that one soul was left behind in the backyard.
To their disbelief, an adorable dog who obviously was once a family member was left behind chained to a doghouse full of frozen water.
He was curled up on the grass and shivering from the harsh weather. “The cold wind howled and the cold hurt after being outside for just a few moments. The callousness of this act alone gives us chills,” Stray Rescue of St. Louis wrote on Facebook.
Donna Lochmann, one of the compassionate SRSL rescuers, was heartbroken to see this poor dog abandoned in such a manner.
“Why someone felt you deserved to suffer with that huge chain is one of the world’s greatest mysteries. You’re free,” SRSL wrote.
