Meg Rayburn’s new year started off with a cruel bang.

The pooch, now named Meg Rayburn, had been seen around the area where she was found for several days, without the fireworks taped to her back, but was too skittish to let anyone near her. Laurie and Clint Bergeron were the Good Samaritans who were finally able to pick up the dog after approaching her outside the club on NYE, reportsKTRK. After noticing the dog was hurt, the couple brought her to a local animal hospital.

Upon hearing about the cruelty the canine endured through a tagged Facebook post, Dachshund Rescue of Houston contacted the Bergerons and stepped in to look after the little dog.

The rescue brought Meg Rayburn to Jersey Village Animal Hospital for further treatment, and is now caring for the Dachshund.

“She is safe now, in one of our loving foster homes. This is what we do. We help dogs like Meg who have no hope and give them a soft spot to rest their heads,” Dachshund Rescue of Houstonwrote on Facebook. “We provide all the vetting and care they need to have the best chance at a new beginning.”

Rumley said the rescue is dedicated to finding Meg Rayburn a loving, permanent home, once the dog has fully recovered. This shouldn’t be hard, since the Dachshund has already received “a great amount” of adoption applications.
