NMDOG has taken in a sweet but very emancipated bull terrier named Hubble a neglected dog that spent his life on a chain. The rescue group, NMDOG, introduced the ailing dog to their Facebook followers on Sunday - the group described the situation that Hubble was rescued from, "Animal Welfare Coalition of Northeastern NM about a seizure that had just taken place by Las Vegas, NM Animal Control & LVPD. They removed 5 chained dogs from the property....one, a Bull Terrier who we named HUBBLE, was very close to death."

Two people, who were likely responsible for Hubble's dire condition, fled the scene with a pregnant pit bull, and a pit bull puppy. The group requested that anyone who has seen the dogs, or the suspects to reach out, "please call (505)886-1PAW. You may remain anonymous. We will be working directly with law enforcement to build a strong case against these abusers."

Hubble was rushed to a veterinarian for emergency care - the rescue group described his condition, "100s of maggots were removed...100s more remain. HUBBLES intake temp was 96.5, his blood pressure was nearly non existent, he could not stand or walk & he weighed only 26 lbs. He was barely clinging to life! HUBBLE is estimated to be between 3-5 years old. Everyone is in agreement that he would not have lived another 12-24 hrs in that condition on his chain. Help for HUBBLE literally came in the nick of time!"
Funds are being raised for his care and if you can help please check out their facebook page and you can see updates..he is not out of the woods yet but doing better!
