Heartbreaking Video Shows One-Year-Old Dog Who Looks Like “Old Man” Due to Abuse

A heartbreaking video posted by the Humane Society of Broward County shares the sad story of a dog named Grommett. Although the dog is only one year old, he looks much older due to the horrific abuse that he has suffered. However, Grommett has not given up hope that he will one day find a loving forever home.

When rescuers removed Grommett from his previous placement, he was severely underweight. Indeed, the mixed-breed dog weighed only half of what he was supposed to. His nails were also so overgrown that they were preventing him from walking. Gut wrenchingly, his paws were also burned from standing in his own urine. It is believed that he was severely neglected and kept in a cage for the majority of his life. 

Although Grommett is not yet available for adoption, the one-year-old dog is now safe with a foster family. They are focusing on helping the pup get healthy. Eventually, the shelter hopes to find him a loving home where the pup can receive all the love and comfort that he was previously denied.
