A dog named stormy is recovering at the Dal Paso animal healthcare facility in new Mexico after being doused in acid and abandoned over the weekend in Hobbs, new Mexico.

“In my opinion, this is just a horrible, horrible person that inflicted this damage to this dog,” Dr. Keith Cloward, the veterinarian treating Stormy, said.

The dog was found over the weekend wandering in Lovington. She was brought into the animal healthcare facility by a local rescue organization.

Stormy was stolen out of her own backyard a week ago. It’s believed she may have fallen victim to someone in the dog fighting world.

Dog fighters will throw acid on young dogs to see if they become vicious and lash out at their litter mates. The ones that attack are the ones that are kept and brought up to be fighters. The ones that don’t are normally killed.

Luckily for stormy she survived. no one knows if she was abandoned after the attack or if she happened to wander onto the wrong persons home after getting lost.

She’s already received one surgery and another is scheduled for later this week.

The chemical used in the attack caused a caustic burn. The superficial skin is going to die, during this time it’s common for animals to contract infections. The animal healthcare facility is working on controlling that now.

Stormy is expected to make a full recovery. “In three weeks, you won’t even recognize her anymore,” Dr. Cloward said. “She’ll be a brand new dog. It’s gonna have a happy ending.”
