Two puppies in a backyard appeared to be "in poor shape," from an anonymous complaint towards the Niagara Falls Police Department.

Hemi, a 6-month-old puppy, while Foreign, a female pit bull mix, was another.

Both puppies were having a difficult time walking and were in critical condition need of rescue, according to Officer Jimmy Tucci.

"When an officer got there, he saw that one of the puppies unable to put some pressure on its leg. Hemi, the other dog, was malnourished, dehydrated, and unable to walk. The policeman had to carry him since his back leg was swelled and damaged so badly," the shelter added.

Hemi was transported to Northtowns Emergency and is now rehabilitating at the Niagara County SPCA.


Notwithstanding such brutality and neglect, both dogs are as wonderful as can be. "It's sad to know that Hemi is just a baby and that this terrible treatment is all he's ever know," the shelter stated, "but we tell you that little love dogs  get better ."

Hemi is being treated with attention and love by the caretakers and is set to make a full recovery. In a recently update video, they stated that once Hemi is completely healed, he will be placed in a forever home. "My husband responded to this call," Tucci's wife, Samantha Lynn, said. Heartbreaking. He is adoptable, and we are hoping to be able to accept him.


Tucci contacted the shelter to inquire about Hemi's well-being and set up a meet-and-greet with the couple's dog Manny. "The responding officer is going to be adopting him," the shelter announced, "and we are very, very excited for that."

Foreigners arrived in good condition than Hemi and is thriving. She'll have a forever home with law enforcement after she's checked medically. According to WKBW, the beautiful girl is being adopted by a local sheriff.
