In one of the most appalling cases of animal cruelty, a young Lurcher named Tiggy was left for dead, sparking outrage and a nationwide search for justice.
Found abandoned on the roadside, Tiggy was rescued by compassionate individuals who were shocked by her emaciated and neglected state.
The sight of her protruding ribs and nearly bare skin painted a heartbreaking picture of the suffering she endured.
Kerry Patterson, 35, and Reece Milburn, 30, faced charges for the horrific neglect and mistreatment of Tiggy and their other dog, Enzo.
Despite facing legal consequences, Tiggy’s former owners were ordered to pay a victim cost and received a 12-week prison sentence and a lifetime ban on owning or caring for animals. The severity of their actions was deemed one of the worst cases of animal cruelty witnessed in the area.
Throughout the ordeal, Tiggy’s resilience shone through as she received care and support from the dedicated staff at the Berwick Animal Rescue Center.
With their help, Tiggy underwent a remarkable transformation, finding a new home and a new lease on life.
Today, Tiggy embodies the triumph of love and compassion over cruelty. Her story serves as a reminder of the importance of speaking up against animal abuse and the power of second chances.
