Many dogs are ruthlessly mistreated, abandoned, and discarded on the streets like trash every year, forced to fend for themselves. But this unhappy dog’s discovery is more distressing than most because it was an abandoned, shaken creature living inside an English garbage can.

Rescuers from Birmingham Dogs Home were informed of the situation by a worker at the municipal park where he had been discovered. The puppy was in need of assistance whether he had been dropped into the trash by someone or had sought shelter there during the chilly winter night.

“When we noticed him, his eyes were gazing out over the top, and our hearts plummeted. It is sufficient to break someone’s heart.

The dog, who is around 18 months old, does not have a microchip, so it is impossible to determine where he came from or how long he has been living on the streets. The dog’s future will change now that he is secure, that much is certain.

While in our care, he is getting all the love and attention he need. He now prefers heating to a garbage can in a nearby park.

The dog was saved from that garbage can just a few days ago, but already you can tell how content he is to be with those that appreciate him.

said Birmingham Dogs Home:

“This is our young soldier having fun in the snow today. We didn’t keep him outside without a coat for too long because it was really chilly. A significant improvement over Friday’s situation.

Now when you’re surrounded by the warmth of love, even the wintertime outdoors seems like a pleasant place to play and run.
