A dog named Stevie, whose owners abandoned him and rejected him, was found abandoned in the backyard of a house in South Carolina (USA). It was a very sad situation for him.
He lived in chains for eight years in the yard, and had no idea what love and affection were. Stevie’s tragic story immediately piqued the interest of the Diamonds of the Defender in Ruff (New York).
In addition to fleas and maggots, Stevie was completely blind. Moreover, there was a problem with the intestines, which required an operation.
The biggest issue Stevie faced was learning about and adjusting to foster care: he was extremely afraid. While driving home, he either slept most of the time or growled and barked from his cage. We knew he was only defending himself.»
