Animal Cruelty

It’s a familiar, feel-good fable: a young equestrian sees potential in an unlikely horse. Together, they overcome numerous challenges to achieve glory, inspiring all around them in the process.

For one aspiring veterinarian and her adopted horse, Ivie, this story wasn’t a fairytale, but a reality.

Second chances seem like they don’t come around too often, but at the ASPCA, they happen every day! Especially for former dogfighting victims. Following their rescue, dogs like these, once forced into lives of violence, are put on paths toward rehabilitation and healing. But that’s not where their stories end! We’ve seen countless dogfighting survivors go on to find the loving homes they deserve.
