Iowa Rescue Dog Dumped in a Cage and ‘Left Alone’ in 18-Degree Cold, Now in ‘Gentle Hands’

Rise, a 4-year-old dog left alone in a cage on Sunday, March 2, now has a name that “speaks to new beginnings,” per the Humane Society of Scott County

  •     A thin and scarred dog was found dumped outside the old location of an Iowa animal shelter on March 2
  •     A good Samaritan spotted the abandoned dog alone in the 18-degree cold and brought the canine to the Humane Society of Scott County
  •     The Humane Society of Scott County named the dog Rise to honor the pet’s resilience

A dog found abandoned in a cage in Iowa in 18-degree weather is ready to begin a warm and welcoming next chapter.

On Sunday, March 2, the Kings Harvest Pet Rescue No Kill Shelter in Davenport announced on Facebook that, earlier that morning, an unidentified person left a dog unattended in the cold outside of the shelter’s former location.

Special place in Hell reserved for that person.  Only thing worse that that I can think of is: What if it was a child?

Would it have taken that much effort to bring it to the proper address that was on the sign where it was abandoned?

I find this very sad because all life is precious.

As Bob Barker always ended the Price Is Right tv show. “Remember to spay and neuter your pets.”  That advice should apply to some heartless people too.

The remains of a soldier killed during World War II at age 27 were identified by military scientists after nearly 79 years.

On Wednesday, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced that it had identified the remains of U.S. Army 2nd Lt. Gene F. Walker of Richmond, Indiana, and that he “was accounted for” in July of this year. 

*** and ***

A 1944 obituary, cited by WTHR, noted at the time that Walker was survived by his wife and a daughter whom he never met.

So sad and a reminder of the cost of war in the lives of men, widows, and children.
