This picture is one of the most tragic things I have ever seen. A dog who has been abandoned by its owner, staring at the wall and frozen in fear.

Dog Cash refused to move. She laid in her own urine at the animal shelter and wouldn’t eat anything if anyone was looking at her. Every time someone closed a door she would jump out of fear.

She had lost all trust for humans.

Tammy Graves is the founder of animal charity The Haley Graves Foundation. She first met Cash when she was visiting one of her animal shelters.

The dog lay shaking with her head against the wall. She was terrified and had been more or less left to her fate.

Tammy was furious. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the first time she had seen a dog who had been mistreated. But there was something about Cash that made her react strongly.

She decided to write a post on Facebook:

“This is what happens when people leave animals at shelters. This dog woke up happy yesterday in a warm bed or sofa, waited for breakfast, jumped in the car and hoped she was going to go to the park, or worst case to the vet.

Instead she ended up in a place with 275 dogs, barking and wanting to get out. Animals walk by and never come back. And she has no idea what’s in store for her. She only knows that she didn’t ask to come here. She didn’t ask to be given to an irresponsible owner.”
