💔 Story of Sarge

Imagine living an entire decade of your life in the very same place.  Imagine not knowing if you will have food or water.  Imagine living your life through all the seasons, the extreme heat and cold and having to endure it all.  Imagine your whole life consisting of laying in dirt, mud, your own filth.  Imagine being totally isolated for 3650 days. Imagine all of this happens while you have a weighted chain around your neck and having absolutely no choice.  Imagine Hell.

• Heartbreaking History: Most residents of Mt. Sterling know the story of Sarge.
• Chained Life: Sarge was a precious soul who was chained for an entire decade of his life.
• Community Impact: This sweet boy broke the hearts of many citizens of our community for years.
• Rescue Efforts: Finally, after endless effort, our local rescue, Love of Paws, was contacted.

🌟 Sarge's New Beginning

Finally, a new and well-deserved beginning.  However, by this time, Sarge was over ten years old, his health had declined and he was nearly blind.  For the almost three years that followed, Sarge lived comfortably, he was so loved and cared for by Pat and Russ Henry.

• Grateful Life: We are all grateful that Sarge was able to live out the remainder of his life filled with warmth and love,  the life he always deserved.
• Torturous Past: Unfortunately, Sarge never got to experience any of this when he was young and healthy.
• Innocent Victims: Sarge is just one of thousands of dogs who live this daily nightmare.
• Awareness Needed: This event aims to raise awareness for all of the others who live the same life day after day.
