Undoubtedly, Lambert's fur was badly matted and filthy. The chained pup was friendly enough with his rescuers and allowed them to approach him.Photo credit: Galway SPCA
Once the animal welfare officers saw the conditions Lambert had to deal with, they acted fast to get him out of this unbearable mess. Galway SPCA posted on their that, “Lambert was taken away from this ‘so-called home' by our Officers and brought to our Sanctuary."Photo credit: Galway SPCA
Once Lambert was brought in the sanctuary of Galway SPCA, he was washed and cleaned up. One of the staff wrote on their Facebook page, "“We made him up a dry, warm bed in one of our outdoor runs, away from the main kennel block, so he could settle in quietly and readjust to ‘life off a chain’. He looks and acts like an old dog when in actual fact, we believe him to be maybe only 2/3 years old…”Photo credit: Galway SPCA
The group said that "Lambert is now learning about 'freedom away from a chain". “He is now slowly learning to be handled and walked on a lead…He is happy to Potter around his enclosure and lies in the sun and who could blame him when we see his former life.”Photo credit: Galway SPCA
Moreover, Galway SPCA wrote about the terrible conditions which Lambert had to live in. “There is NO excuse in our eyes for ANY animal to have to live like this. No matter your age, culture or financial status, you would know this is WRONG….” Thanks to the wonderful rescuers, and the concerned neighbor, of course, Lambert is now safe. They will help him to find himself a home soon, where he will never get chained up again, or have to lie in mud and dirt, or a cold barrel. Any dog lover will never treat a man's best friend as ‘just a dog’. Lambert has a true second chance at life because a concerned human gave him a voice. Any person should never turn the other cheek ignoring what is so obviously wrong. Thanks to the kindhearted neighbor, the collie pup has a chance to live the life he deserves. As a dog lover, I feel so much gratitude for the man who decided to stand up and speak for a pup who was desperate for help. If you are against forcing any animal to live in such terrible conditions, please SHARE Lambert's story with all your friends and family on Facebook! Via reshareworthy
