This strong-willed puppy managed to bounce back from a serious muzzle injury thanks to the compassionate care and endless love she received. Found with a hairband tightly wrapped around her snout, the abused puppy was brought to a shelter that never puts animals down.
The hairband had penetrated deep, reaching down to the bone and leading to considerable swelling that made her face three times its normal size. Cincinnati Animal CARE acted swiftly to provide her with the necessary medical attention, removing the hairband and stitching up the large wound. The shelter staff decided to name her Tiffany, in honor of their beloved eighties pop star.
It is believed that the hairband was used to stop the puppy from barking, similar to how zip ties are commonly used. The extent of abuse was detailed in the shocking posts on the animal center’s Facebook page.
The rescue team praised Tiffany for how she dealt with her emergency situation and mentioned that she stayed with a medical staff member overnight. An update confirms that Tiffany is recovering well, maintaining a healthy diet and staying hydrated while being looked after by the kind Good Samaritan who discovered her.
Tiffany’s facial swelling has significantly reduced, and her wounds are now stitched up and on the mend. Cincinnati Animal CARE is asking for help to find Tiffany’s abuser, and PETA is offering a reward for anyone who can help lead to their arrest.

Exciting news from Tiffany! She made a heartwarming appearance at the shelter yesterday. Her stitches are looking great, she is on the road to recovery, and she is thriving in her temporary home with her loving foster family. Cincinnati Animal CARE shared the good news on their social media page, highlighting the resilient nature of animals. Tiffany is now a cheerful, energetic, and flourishing pup!
