Pup is Nothing Short of Magic

MILWAUKEE – Wiring a dog's mouth closed to stop him from barking is unthinkable. Even worse, the dog languished in the backyard and was only off his leash long enough to be kicked and belittled.

Kindness was just out of reach for this little pup; until one brave neighbor was willing to step up and insist that she take the sweet dog. After seeing the wire and how the guardian kicked Magic, she was able to convince the guardian to give the dog to her. The neighbor removed the wire around Magic's sore mouth and brought her to the Wisconsin Humane Society.

The pup was skittish and uncomfortable at first, but during her stay at WHS she received plenty of tender loving care. Although only time will fade the scar across her muzzle, Magic is slowly learning how to trust people.

Magical transformations occur every day at the Wisconsin Humane Society where dogs like Magic receive extra special attention. She is now ready to be adopted by a loving person who understands that she may need some time to adjust to new things because her world was so small and so cruel.

For more information about Magic, please call the Wisconsin Humane Society at (414) ANIMALS.  Additional information about the Wisconsin Humane Society can be obtained by visiting www.wihumane.org.
