BALTIMORE, MD — An injured dog needs your help after he was rescued after he tumbled out of a dumpster at a Baltimore trash incinerator facility Monday. Donut, as BARCS Animal Shelter named him, wasn’t initially noticed in all the piles of trash, but then a front-load operator saw movement in the trash and jumped in to save him.

Donut was alive, but couldn’t get up. When Animal Control arrived, Donut was resting on towels, but he was covered in trash, his body had multiple cuts and puncture wounds and he was suffering from severe injuries to his front legs.
