Abused, Tortured, starving and abandoned.
Twiggy, an Australian Shepherd, was pushed out of a car in the parking lot of Palm Beach Animal Control. She was discovered the next morning by a shelter worker who had just arrived for work. Twiggy was scared, alone and obviously neglected. Her coat was matted with feces. She had obviously been crated for a long period of time.
The staff immediately attended to her and as they shaved her coat, they discovered she was extremely under weight and in fact had been starved. Nothing but skin and bones, this tortured little dog still had a sweet and gentle manner.
Dezzys Second Chance Rescue partners with the shelter to help with extreme animal abuse cases. Sandra immediately responded and took Twiggy into the rescue's care. She is anemic and needs to get the proper nutrition before she can proceed with any medical procedures.
Former professional tennis star Kevin Anderson, once ranking 5th in the world, heard about Twiggy and reached out to the rescue to help. He was heart broken to see her story and wanted to meet her and help donate towards her care. He is featured in the video to talk about Twiggy and her struggles going forward. Kevin is an animal advocate and he and his wife have helped to raise thousands of dollars for animals in need.
You too can be a champion and donate towards the care of Twiggy and many other rescue dogs at Dezzys Second Chance Rescue.

Relax....Sixty Seconds of Kitty Love!
This is what I wake up to most mornings. The sweet sound of purring. My two Maine Coons are in love. They were both feral cats born to stray mothers. Chucky was rescued with his sister from an office plaza in Naples, Florida. They were living in a drain pipe. I adopted them when they were about a year old.
Priscilla was born outside an apartment complex in Plantation Florida. I adopted her when she was about 4 months old.
All of my cats are a tightly bonded. I've never seen a group of cats get along so well. This pair appears to be "romantically" bonded. They are both fixed so I guess they will never consummate their relationship.

Defying All Odds, Kitten Slowly Recovers From Head Trauma
We adore cats! They are little fluff balls which bring us joy and happiness with their tempers, their playful character, and their loving hearts. They are, and we know that they make our lives better. We think cats make the perfect pet because they are self-sufficient, intelligent, and good companions.
We’ve heard it one too many times that cats are incredibly smart and that they can probably survive a zombie apocalypse if push comes to shove. However, there are cases when fate has been crueler to them, and life was not far towards them. But knowing their strong will to live and maybe having nine lives, they will beat all odds of losing their lives. Just like this little <a href="https://rumble.com/v324g4-dog-gets-stuck-in-escalator-hero-firefighters-save-him.html" target="_blank">hero</a>, when baby cat Gracie was eight weeks old, she showed the world that she is strong!
When Gracie was just eight weeks old, she was sleeping in a mail delivery truck and was startled by the driver. Gracie jumped out of the car and was immediately hit by another vehicle passing by. She suffered severe head trauma. Angelico Cat Rescue was called, and Tammy immediately came out to rescue Gracie. The doctors only gave her a 20% survival rate.
Head injury can happen when a feline supports damage to the head, for example, running into a divider, battling with another creature, or being hit with an unpolished or infiltrating object. The recognizable side effects of a head injury will change between felines. Now and again, you may notice your feline is starting to act unusual, while in different circumstances, your feline may entirely lose consciousness and begin to have seizures. But, luckily Tammy was not giving her life up!
Tammy and a volunteer Olga shared the responsibility of 24-hour care to keep her body temperature regulated and to feed her. This video documents her slow but fantastic recovery. As of 2/14/19, Gracie can only see shadows. She cannot eat on her own because she has not yet regained her sense of smell. The smell also affects a cats urge to the litter box. We wish Tammy great recovery, and we hope that she will cross every obstacle on her way and she will live a perfect life together with her family and will be a healthy <a href="https://rumble.com/v4ikct-talking-cat-jacob.html" target="_blank">cat</a>!
Gracie's medical bills and continued expenses are mounting. Please consider donating to her care. You can go to Paypal@AngelicoCatRescue.com to donate.

Incredible recovery for two dogs beaten down by abuse
These dogs lived a horrible life at the home of former Opa-laka Chief of Police, Ron Wilson. While he was on a 10 day cruise, Animal Control found them left to fend for themselves in his yard without shelter from the harsh South Florida conditions. These dogs were immediately taken into Dezzy's Second Chance Animal Rescue where they received the medical treatment they needed. Their ribs were showing, bodies covered in mange, almost completely blinded from eye issues. Further tests and x-rays revealed Mugsy had a broken leg in the past, two bullets still in his body and heart worm. The medial bills have been close to $20,000 and at the time of their rescue, Dezzy's Second Chance could not tell their story to raise donations because Ron Wilson was under investigation. Eventually the SWAT team came out and arrested him. He was charged with animal abuse. Wilson opted for a deal to keep him out of jail and has agreed to pay a non disclosed amount of money to reimburse Dezzy's Second Chance for the dogs medical care. He has FIVE years to pay.

Abandoned Dog Celebrates Three Years Since His Adoption Day
A lot of dogs get abandoned by their owners every single day. They end up alone in dumpsters or wandering the streets. If they are lucky enough, they get to survive out there and maybe someday find a family that’s going to take care of them.
Oliver and his mother Karma were dumped at an automobile auction lot at the edge of the Florida Everglades. Because of the high traffic that frequents this road, these dogs’ lives were in great danger. Running around for almost two months on a <a href="https://rumble.com/v3jsal-farmer-rides-pig-along-busy-road.html" target="_blank">busy road</a> meant that they could get injured at any time.
Luckily, Oliver was saved and after a while he got himself new home. One lovely lady adopted him on April 16 in 2014.
"Oliver is going home. We have a foster "failure"!" Only that this foster "failure" turned to be a loving and caring foster family that took great care of him. He grew up into a happy and cheerful dog, enjoying every day of his doggy life. He plays with <a href="https://rumble.com/v39cp4-handful-of-adorable-squirming-newborn-red-squirrels.html" target="_blank">squirrels</a> and he hangs with the geese and ducks. Oliver adores the water park where he can play and hang around with other dogs all day long. He and his cat sister, Priscilla, who was also abandoned, love to cuddle and make troubles at home.
This dog has a sophisticated taste of food. His favorite meal are chicken livers. That’s where he takes his girlfriend Diva out on a date.
This cute video and the inspirational story behind it end with Oliver’s message to his viewers: "Thank you all for following my adventures. Love you all!!! I get pizza and cake for my birthday. I can't wait."

Former Police Chief charged with Abusing his two dogs. State V. Ronald Wilson.
Former Police Chief Ronald Wilson Charged with TWO accounts of Animal Cruelty. Mugsy and Lady, his PETS, suffered a horrible existance. They are currenlty recovering and receiving the care so desperately needed. While they continue to endure painful surgeries, their abuser is still FREE pending a trial or plea arrangement.
Wilson was the former Police Chief in Opa-Locka, Florida.
A concerned citizen had seen the dogs living in his yard and contacted Miami-Dade Animal Services. When they arrived, Wilson was away on a 10 day cruise, leaving his dogs outside to fend for themselves. Dezzys Second Chance Rescue was contacted and immediately took both dogs into their care for immediate medical care.
As you can see in the video, these dogs had suffered long term neglect, at the least, enduring multiple medial issues. The rescue is fully responsible for 100% of their medical care and rely completely on donations. Due to the legal issues of this case, Dezzys Second Chance could not discuss these dogs and their condition due to the pending arrest. The medical costs to this date are over $14,000. Mugsy's condition is so severe that he is not adoptable and will remain a permanent resident of the 5 acre rescue. Dezzys Second Chance does not want to separate Lady from Mugsy so she will remain with him.
Please consider donating to help these special dogs who are finally getting the love and care they deserve. You can find the donation link at WWW.Dezzyssecondchance.com.
We will follow up with an updated video once this case has closed.

Ripped away from his family, Billy's journey from death row to freedom
Animal Control showed up one day at the Lowe property and violently seized 5 pet dogs. Darted and dragged into the truck, these dogs suffered for over 90 days in isolation waiting to be euthanized.
Billy is one of the "Tampa 5" dogs and member of the Lowe family who was forced (against local law) to surrender their dogs to animal control. The dogs were accused of biting a person who trespassed onto the private, properly gated and posted property. Billy and the other 4 dogs endured 3 months of isolation at the local shelter while their family fought for their rights. In August of 2015, the dogs were legally declared safe to be released from the shelter.
Months before, Mr. Lowe suffered a severe stroke and was hospitalized, never to return home. His family made the decision to find loving homes for all of Mr. Lowe's dogs. Six of the family dogs (4 of the Tampa 5) are with a South Florida rescue who is medically caring for them and dedicated to finding them homes.
Billy was fortunate enough to quickly find his forever home and will be a companion dog for a retired Vietnam veteran.

Davie Police Rescue an Abused Dog that was Dumped and left to Die.
Crystal was found roaming on the side of the road on Orange Drive in Davie, Fl next to the canal. She had a blue substance on her rear end and open sores in the same area. One side of her muzzle was missing flesh and her ribs were poking through her coat. Nearby was a white tarp that also had blue residue that came from her coat. Davie Police were on the scene immediately to rescue her. Her condition was so bad that they called the department detective to further investigate her case. She obviously had physical signs of abuse and neglect and the white tarp left indications that she was wrapped in the plastic and possibly dumped next to the canal. It took about 10 minutes before the officers were able to get her safely into the police car. Broward County law requires that stray animals be taken to Broward County Animal control to allow 3 days for an owner to come forward. The detective opened an investigation for Crystal. Heidi's Legacy Rescue sent a commitment to rescue Heidi from the shelter. Crystal was welcomed into their rescue and rushed to the animal hospital for immediate medical care. It took about two weeks before she was finally healthy enough to be transported to foster care in Lakeland, Florida.
Crystal is one of many dogs Heidi's Legacy Dog Rescue helps on a daily basis. Please consider donating to continue to help Crystal and other dogs in their care. You can contact them or send donations to their pay pal account... PayPal: heidislegacydogrescue@aol.com

Abused, sick and starving puppies make full recovery
Sara and Ingrid were rescued from the backyard of a drug dealers house in South Florida. A young man adopted these two puppies and had them in a small cage in his backyard. He was in jail on drug charges for a week while the puppies were trapped in their crate. They were laying in their own feces. The father released the dogs to Angelico Cat and Dog Rescue after their relentless effort to save these dogs. This is the worst case of animal cruelty Angelico Cat Rescue has witnessed. As hard and graphic it is to watch their rescue, the end result was two beautiful female dogs that had their second chance in life.

Mating Rituals of Frogs
AN ORGY OF FROGS!!!!
For a few weeks of every year, my neighbors and I live with the nightly moaning and croaking of horny frogs mating on our lake. The loud unison sounds last through the night and ends just before day break. Since I replaced my windows and doors with hurricane resistant glass, I no longer need ear plugs to sleep during their mating rituals. This year I decided to capture their sexual activities on video to share with the YouTube world. I'm not a pervert, please don't judge me.
Enjoy!
