A Metro Detroit woman is giving neglected dogs and cats a second chance at life by caring for them in a makeshift encampment on the city's west side.
According to Elizabeth Sammut, the area where she is caring for the animals is a dumping hot spot for unwanted pets. She estimates that she sees one abandoned animal per week.
"They get out of their cars, put the dog on a leash, act like they’re walking the dog, let go of the leash, jump in their car, and they pull off," said Sammut.
Sammut is currently caring for 15 dogs on one block and 6 on another. Her efforts are providing a lifeline for these neglected animals, giving them another shot at a happy life.
