"There's a wound on his neck, maybe from being tied up or attacked. His poor swollen face, the sadness in those eyes."
The rescue are again asking for help covering their vet bills and the costs associated with the work that they do.
They added that it has been worth 'every penny to help this poor defenceless heart broken boy'.
Responding online, may people were enraged and feeling sorry for the dog's plight.
One person commented "Heartbreaking", whilst another said: "What a pitiful sight. Poor love has endured unimaginable cruelty. I hope he can be saved and that his heart is mended."
