A dog named Beau is in need of help.
The Palm Beach County-based rescue group Mutty Paws has taken in the dog from Broward County, after being contacted by the Broward Sheriff’s Office, NBC 6 reports .
Beau, a pit mix, was discovered Friday. He had been wrapped in two trash bags and was only found when someone saw the bag moving and called 911. Beau weighed 23 pounds.
WPTV’s Zitlali Solache spoke with Melody Atkinson, a member of the rescue group on Wednesday.
“He’s actually one of the lucky ones,” said Atkinson. “He was found and he’s being given the opportunity to recover.”
According to updates on the Mutty Paws Rescue page , Beau is showing some signs of progress, but it will be a long road to recovery. Over the weekend, he was “presenting as not neurologically appropriate but also at the same time, he responded to baby talk by presenting to try and wag his tail and moving his ears. He can not stand, he can not get up on his own.”
“There’s anger, there’s hurt and then there’s the call to action that comes,” stated Atkinson. “We’ve got to do what we’ve got to do for this dog.”
