The Animal Charity of Ohio has made a desperate appeal for help after rescuing a dog that was found frozen to the ground and hidden away by its owners.
On Wednesday afternoon, the charity rushed the dog to Medvet Hospital, where humane officers carried him because his legs were “solid ice” and he could not stand.
A Fight for Survival
Upon arrival at the emergency vet hospital, the situation was dire. The dog’s body temperature was so low that it didn’t register on the thermometer.
Despite the grim prognosis, the team at the hospital is doing everything possible to save this senior pup, who has been affectionately named Riser after a local restaurant frequented by the humane agents.
