The KC Pet Projectis working to help care for a dog that was rescued from a cruel and neglectful home.

King was found by Kansas City, Missouri Animal Control on Friday afternoon. The KC Pet Project said he was unconscious with something tied around his neck, making him unable to move when they found him. He began having seizures and his organs started failing.

After around-the-clock care over the weekend, King is now able to stand, walk and gives kisses to the staff. They are currently accepting donations to help King and other dogs like him.
