In late December, Feleciana Ramirez said somebody informed her an animal lived inside a wood dog house that was abandoned in a grassy location near the Oklahoma River in Oklahoma City. The dog house’s entryway was sealed shut with a board and screws.
“I had a utility ax and I broke it open, peaked in it, and seen that he remained in there,” said Ramirez. “I was amazed to discover anything alive due to the fact that he wasn’t weeping. He wasn’t making any type of sound.”
The dog was required to OKC Animal Welfare. A couple of days later on, Kayla Wise ended up being the dog’s foster mama through the non-profit, Mutt Misfits Animal Rescue Society.
“He was really exhausted, really frightened. Just tired more than anything, I believe, due to the fact that he slept for a long period of time,” remembered Wise. “His case is the worst that I’ve had in my home.”
Wise passionately called the dog Karus, which suggested valuable and cherished. Under Wise’s care, the dog acquired 20 pounds.
“He’s far more positive. Over the last 5 weeks, I’ve simply viewed his character actually come out,” said Wise.
Wise talked to a number of possible households to adopt Karus. She eventually picked Ramirez, whose family selected the dog up from Wise on Friday. With his tail wagging, the dog provided lots of kisses to the Ramirez family and was incredibly delighted to go to his permanently home. The family relabelled him Diego.
“Just can’t envision anybody injuring him the method they did,” said Kathy Ramirez.
Jon Gary, superintendent of OKC Animal Welfare, informed News 9 on Friday that the individual accountable for sealing the dog inside the wood box had actually not been discovered.
