Rascal's story is one of those which comes along and reminds us of the importance of ending animal cruelty and suffering.

Rascal had a tragic tale as a dog in Cotacachi.  He was an emaciated, tortured and very ill 4 month old puppy when he was captured from the highway and brought to Amici Cannis Hospital de Animales for treatment. 

Rascal had so many health issues and it was obvious from his condition that he had been roaming the streets for the entirety of his four short months of life.  We attempted emergency medical intervention for everything from his profound emaciation and compromised gastrointestinal tract to his severe skin wounds. 

Despite 24 hour supportive emergency treatment and care, Rascal succumbed to his diseases within a few days.  Our team and community were devastated and greatly impacted by the suffering that Rascal experienced.  We can only find solace in the fact that he was loved, comfortable and valued in his last days while in our care. 

Amici Cannis Foundation is dedicated to educating our future generations in the 5 freedoms of Animal Welfare to end animal cruelty and suffering…RIP Rascal.
