Apple Valley, CA: On the 11th, the story of little Valentine, a 10-month-old Pit Bull puppy who dragged her brutalized body to a cement plant seeking help was published here. You can read that story here or at the link provided below. Valentine's story has garnered the attention of advocates from everywhere. Now a $2000 reward is being offered by The Animal Rescue Team of Santa Ynez, CA for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the monsters who hurt this innocent puppy so horribly.
The news from the Bear Valley Animal Hospital about Valentine is encouraging. She has had emergency procedures needed to stabilize her and to amputate the front paw that was being held on by just a piece of skin. She is resting and will have more surgery tomorrow. Her appetite is reported to be good, and she is said to be doing well. She is being given all of the intensive medical care she needs as well as love and affection for probably the first time in her life.

The outpouring of support for this baby has been amazing. Everyone wants to see her heal and even more, they want to see the monsters who could so heartlessly hurt her this way found and brought to justice. Once the perpetrators have been found and charged, a petition will be drawn up seeking maximum penalties against the perpetrators, which will be shared with you in a followup story. For now, a petition simply is not possible, since it is unknown who committed this horrible act of cruelty.
