Dog Found Suffering Chemicals Burns In The San Fernando Valley
A rescue group is asking for help saving a little Maltese who they believe was intentionally burned.
LOS ANGELES, CA — A local animal rescue organization is seeking donations to help treat a 10-year-old Maltese that suffered extensive burns over 50% of her body in the Van Nuys area.
The dog, named Candy, was rescued by the Little Angels Project after being found by the East Valley Animal Shelter. The shelter believes Candy was burned with chemicals or a fire accelerant and will need ongoing long-term care.
"It is very sad to see this kind of mistreatment of animals, but she is now in the arms of the caring vet staff that will make sure she has a second chance at life," the organization wrote in a post on Facebook.
