Scared dog doesn’t want to be abandoned at the shelter, so her family drags her with a rope
A heartbreaking scene was captured on video and posted online, and people are (rightfully) furious. A family dragged their dog into a Texas animal shelter by rope as the dog was scared and refused to walk through the door.
Stacey Silverstein, co-founder of Rescue Dogs Rock in New York, saw the video and immediately inquired about taking Maya in.

Stacey took Maya to the Aldine Animal Hospital in Houston, Texas, where she’s being treated for heartworm. Once she’s up to date with her shots, she will go to New York in search of a forever home.
Maya is still extremely nervous and hesitant, but she’s safe and will never have to worry about being betrayed again.
The hospital staff continues to work on gaining Maya’s trust and affection. She’s even walking on a leash now, something she was not comfortable doing before.
