A Pit bull with his muzzle wired shut showed up on a familyโ€™s porch looking desperately for someone to help him. Thankfully, Sgt. Bryan McFarlane with the Orange County Virginia Animal Shelter in Orange, Virginia responded and rushed โ€œWyattโ€ to the emergency vet.

Someone had wrapped the dogโ€™s muzzle very tightly with a wire. As a result, his muzzle was swollen, and the wire had cut through his lower cheeks. He could not even open his mouth to eat a piece of a hot dog. He also has broken teeth and mange.

After vets expertly tended to his wounds he was taken to the shelter to recover. Shelter staff said they hadnโ€™t seen a case of animal abuse as severe as Wyattโ€™s in a long time.

Despite the abuse, Wyattโ€™s turnaround in the few weeks heโ€™s been at the shelter is amazing. Heโ€™s goofy, loves playing with toys and adores getting attention from the staff. They fundraised for dental surgery and supporters stepped up.

โ€œThanks to all of you for the love and support for our sweet boy Wyatt!! He had his dental and has recovered wonderfully,โ€ the shelter wrote on Facebook.

Not only has Wyatt gotten the medical care he needs, heโ€™s now up for adoption. The shelter writes, โ€œHe is now in search of a very special family that will love and spoil him for the rest of his life! He is about 2 years old and seems fine with most dogs he meets. He is a little too interested in kitties so a kitty free home pls! He seems to be housebroken as well. If interested, please go to the county website and fill out the pre-adoption application and email to the director.โ€
