Betsey, an abandoned Pit Bull, was discovered during morning rush hour tied to a railing on a New York subway platform. Sprawled out by her side was a trash bag that her owner had the audacity to call a “bed”.
As hundreds of people commuting noticed the petrified dog with a prong collar staring anxiously away from the crowd for hours, no one felt compelled to rescue Betsey.
Finally, a woman named Sarah Borok stepped forward to help the agonized dog. She called animal control and patiently waited by Betsey’s side, even if it meant getting late for work.
Thanks to Sarah’s comforting gesture, the animal control officers had no trouble getting Betsey to the shelter! Later, a vet examination revealed the dreadful truth about Betsey – she was a “throwaway mama dog”.
It is a highly disturbing practice among unscrupulous breeders to exploit female dogs for puppies and discard them like trash when they serve their purpose. The vet believed that Betsey was repeatedly forced to have multiple litters, and her most recent litter might already be up for sale.
Betsey was eventually taken in by rescue group “Mr. Bones & Co. and Rescue the Runway”. It was found that this abused girl suffered from panic attacks due to the hustle and bustle of the city.
So the rescuers placed her in foster care with an experienced mother-daughter duo who live in a secluded spot outside the city.
Betsey is gradually unwinding and learning how to be a pampered dog in her splendid foster home. She is a sweet girl but gets nervous easily due to her terrifying past experiences.
She will be ready for adoption once she is fully rehabilitated. Good luck, Betsey!
