Flash was stolen from his loving owners by dogfighters right here on Long Island. This poor, defenseless, and kind spirited pup was used by his captors as bait to train their fighting dogs. When he was no longer of use to the dogfighters, he was abandoned on the streets. Flash was severely injured and malnourished. He was brought to the Town of Oyster Bay Animal Shelter by a compassionate citizen, where he was able to receive emergency medical care donated by Have a Heart. A local collie rescue group attempted to find Flash’s original owner, but no one had reported the dog missing. Eventually, after an arduous recovery and plenty of TLC, the rescue group found Flash a new forever family.
