Bjarni is a pup who has had a tough life. When he was spotted wandering the streets of Huntsville, he had only half a nose. A local animal control officer picked him up and brought him to a shelter, assuming he was a stray.
The shelter soon realized Bjarni wasn’t a stray — he had a family. But when his family was notified that Bjarni had been picked up, they refused to come and get him.
They no longer wanted him.
Poor Bjarni had difficulty eating and breathing because of his nose, and the shelter was worried about his health.
So a Texas animal rights organization called St. Francis’ Angels was contacted to help Bjarni; they specialize in helping dogs just like him. Their founder, Anne Graber, said she was willing to do whatever it took to keep Bjarni comfortable.
Bjarni’s body is riddled with scars and bite marks — injuries likely caused by other dogs attacking him. Despite everything he’s been through, he is still a very sweet, happy dog and loves people.
Graber refused to give up on him and contacted Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists about him.
