Suspected Dogfighting Survivor Goes from Harrowing Past to Heartwarming Home ❤️ In honor of #NationalDogfightingAwarenessDay, we are sharing Mila's story, a suspected dogfighting survivor. In July 2022, Mila was brought to the ASPCA Cruelty Recovery Center (CRC), in Ohio, after being rescued from a suspected dogfighting operation. Upon arrival, our staff noticed she had an "awkward gait," and was taken to see a veterinary orthopedic specialist. The specialist revealed she had severe trauma in her back left leg that required surgery. A month later Mila had the surgery, marking the beginning of her recovery journey, supported by our dedicated team at the CRC. After months of healing, she increased her muscle strength in that leg and began to walk and play normally again! Since 2010, the ASPCA has assisted with 300+ dogfighting cases in at least 24 states and has positively impacted through rescue, consultations and investigations nearly 6,000 victims of dogfighting. Our staff is diligent when working with suspected dogfighting survivors and assesses both their medical and behavior conditions to provide them with the best possible outcome. “Sometimes these dogs are locked away in areas and only pulled out for the [dogfighting] activity, so they’re not properly socialized,” Jessi, Senior Manager of Animal Behavior at the CRC tells us. Mila, however, exhibited very minimal fear and loved other dogs! Our Placement team remained determined to find her a loving home, and in February 2023, Mila’s luck turned when Ashley found her on the Petfinder website. When they met at the CRC, Ashley knew Mila was the one by Mila's playful energy! Rescued from horrific conditions, dogs like Mila simply desire a place to rest their heads and to be loved unconditionally. Yet, far too often, unfair bias and misconceptions keep these dogs in shelters, waiting for someone to see that they’re more than just their past. On #NationalDogfightingAwarenessDay, we encourage you to stand up for suspected dogfighting victims like Mila. Your support, whether through adoption or spreading awareness, can transform lives.
