Horrific Abuse

Last year, a woman in Lebanon contacted the international animal rescue organization Wild at Heart about Maggie. The young German Shepherd mix was living on the streets. She was pregnant and alone.

She was also in terrible shape. As her rescuers discovered to their horror, Maggie had endured 17 bullet wounds. She had a broken jaw. She lost an ear and both eyes to the abuse she suffered.

The rescuers were determined to save her. Getting an animal out of a foreign country is not an easy feat. The volunteers at Wild at Heart launched a viral campaign to bring Maggie to the U.K.

Maggie’s New Family

Kasey Carlin of Brighton saw Maggie’s story and instantly decided that she wanted Maggie to join her family. Maggie had to undergo surgery before she could travel.

Six months later, Maggie was welcomed into her new home. She has formed a close friendship with Carlin’s other dog and is finally enjoying the happy life that she deserves.

Maggie’s New Life: Therapy Dog and Superstar

Carlin said that Maggie’s incredible spirit makes her a natural as a therapy dog. Maggie has completed her training and is now officially licensed to bring joy to people who need it.

A virtual campaign saved Maggie’s life. Now, she’s taking full advantage of her viral moment. She has her own Instagram feed with over 95,000 followers.

“She’s got a great life and she wants so much out of it,” Carlin said.

    It really upsets me when people abuse animals if only people would only know the animals are so good for us all they want to be I loved, I love my baby so much. If I would ever see anybody abusing an animal I don’t care who it is I would stop and I would save that Animal even if it means to put my life at risk I would say that Animal. People let their dogs loose where I live a lot and I will track them down to see if they have collars and an address or a phone number on them if not then I called Humane Society but I make sure I get them off the street. Thank you for saving Maggie she is a miracle dog she is so beautiful I wish I could just give her a hug.

    What on earth could provoke anyone to abuse any living thimg the way Maggie was! The Only thing that makes sense to me is: Maybe she was in the military’s special forces and maybe she and her handler were both shot.? He was killed or injured and rescued but they were separated. She to must have been rescued. If this is the case, I can only hope (1) he’s alive & (2) that he is able to see this artical & thereby know she is alive & now in a good & safe home!!!
    GOD BLESS All who had a part in any rescuing of these animals such as beautiful Maggie! 🎖❤ 🙏
