Abused by his owner, living outside tied to a tree with a rope around his neck, the future looked bleak for Braveheart. He was malnourished and suffered from severe rope burn as well as other painful neck injuries. With permission from his owner, Braveheart was taken in by the Town of Riverhead Animal Shelter. Have a Heart then provided him with emergency medical treatment and a loving foster home while he recovered. With the help of local rescue groups, Have a Heart found Braveheart a forever family.
