Rescued by animal control officers, Thompson’s past remains a mystery—how he ended up in the hands of his abusers is unknown. Initially taken to a local shelter, he faced yet another hurdle: the facility lacked both space and the specialized care he desperately needed. Now, he is safe with Final Victory Animal Rescue in West Columbia, South Carolina, finally receiving the care and compassion he deserves.Just a baby at 11 weeks old, Thompson, a tiny Corgi mix, endured unthinkable cruelty. Abused by a group of children, he was left disabled, facing an uncertain future. The extent of his suffering is heartbreaking, and the damage may have lifelong consequences.
Suffering From Neurological Damage
At first, the rescue staff suspected Thompson had swimmer’s syndrome, a developmental condition affecting a dog’s hind legs. However, a thorough examination pointed to a more tragic cause—neurological damage likely resulting from the abuse he endured.
Now in a loving and caring foster home, Thompson receives daily physical therapy and many expensive treatments in hopes of regaining mobility. He also has to wear diapers due to incontinence, another lasting effect of his trauma.
Rescue Needs Your Support in Helping Thompson
Thompson’s future remains uncertain, but the rescue is committed to giving him every chance at a better life. However, they can’t do it alone—they need your help.
His medical bills have skyrocketed due to the specialized care he requires, leaving the rescue struggling to cover costs. You can support Thompson’s recovery by donating funds or essential items from his wishlist. Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a difference in his journey toward healing and getting the life he deserves.
Pet Rescue Advocate Rocky Kanaka commented, “This little pup has already endured more pain than any dog should, but his spirit is unbreakable. Thompson deserves a future filled with love, not suffering. With the right care and compassion, we can help him take his first steps toward healing.”
Teaching Children Compassion Toward Animals
Thompson’s heartbreaking story of abuse at the hands of children has left many people outraged, with commenters on social media questioning whether the children will face consequences. One Instagram user, Michelle, asked, “Any updates on what happens to the kids?”
In response, the rescue clarified, “As of right now, no legal action has been taken against the children, in part because of their age, and also because at the time he was found, the origin of Thompson’s condition was unknown.”
While it remains uncertain if legal action will ever be pursued, the rescue is using this moment to advocate for kindness. They urge parents to teach their children the importance of treating animals with love, respect, and compassion.
