Dog abuse needs more awareness because most people don't even realize that it is a crime. When these innocent animals are being abused the dogs don't even realize what they did wrong. When looking to see if a dog has been abused these are the symptoms to look for.

• Wounds can be seen on their skin
• Serious flea or tick infestations
• Numerous patches of missing hair
• Thin looking dogs – appearing as if they are starving or ill
• Limping or having difficulty in walking
• No visible signs of shelter, food or water
• Appearance of injury with no signs of vet care
• Always left outside with no care
• Behavior of cowering, fearful, timid, excessive aggression, or an abnormal behavior

These dogs inside the barrell clearly don't have the care they deserve.
