Above: The City of Camden is filled with abandoned houses. Sometimes one or two are occupied by humans, the rest may not be boarded up and thereby offer refuge for feral cats. Dogs who live here are many are times fifths, sixth, seventh generation.

Pictured above: Dead dogs found in open fields, alleys, backyards and on the streets. They are a common sight, having died from starvation, from the elements, or acts of cruelty.

Above Left: This pit bull terrier was one of seven dogs used for breeding. On a bitter cold winter’s night, he was locked in a cage as punishment for having diarrhea — and froze to death. Above Right: A common scene of a backyard dog. They live in filth and without shelter, and are often neglected and ignored.

This pit bull was chained in an attic; one of the young pit bull’s ears was wrapped several times with a rubber band. A dog fighter’s demented idea of “cosmetic surgery.” Both dogs received veterinary care and were adopted.

Above: Animals are often victims of unspeakable crimes. They are beaten, chained, starved, strangled, abandoned and abused in a host of demented ways. The dog pictured on the left was quite possibly hung with a leather belt, and the dog pictured on the right was starved to death.

Above left: This puppy was found expertly, almost surgically, cut open — clearly a human assault. It was cut open in such a way that it could not have been caused by another animal. Above right: This young shepherd mix was often beaten and tied to a fence with a three-foot rope. The young dog was eventually able to escape his tormentors.
