Puppy Whose Tail Was Cut Off With Scissors Finds A Loving Forever Home

A tiny puppy who had its tail chopped off with scissors finally found the loving forever home she deserves.

Smouse was living at the De Doorns township in South Africa. Thankfully, she wasn’t living there long before Sidewalk Specials stepped in and rescued her from the abusive home.

Before she was rescued, her owner used scissors to cut her tail off (a horrible practice called “docking”) which left her in pain and agony.
