Deaf Dog Who Went From Bubbly and Happy to Dejected Shows the Emotional Toll of Abandonment

A deaf, red-nosed Pit Bull named Casper has been left heartbroken after being returned to the Carolina Big Hearts Big Barks Rescue (CBHBB). While the circumstances of his return are unknown, what matters most now is lifting his spirits and self-esteem. According to the CBHBB Facebook page, Casper was always a playful, fun-loving, cuddle muffin, but the trauma of being abandoned has taken a serious toll on his emotional state.

Casper is so depressed he doesn’t even perk up to greet the volunteers he used to adore!

We can’t imagine the pain this precious boy is feeling, but we can share his story in the hopes that someone, somewhere will offer to foster him. By fostering, you are allowing shelters to open up another space, which allows them to save another animal in need. For the animal being fostered, it means having a safe and stable place to recover from whatever situation they have been rescued from. Casper needs emotional Support that can only be provided at a stable home with personal attention. Casper has so much love to give and deserves the same back.
