Mastiff Left Tied to Pole in 109-Degree Heat, Now Searching for Love
We all try to protect our dogs when it’s hot outside. We change their walking schedule, keep them in air-conditioned spaces, and ensure they stay hydrated. Leaving a dog outside in extreme heat is unimaginable.
Well, this is what happened with Sarge, a Mastiff mix, who was found tied to a “No Dumping Sign” while the temperature was soaring to 109 degrees Fahrenheit. The poor dog was alone for who knows how many days, battling heat and hunger.
From Sweltering Heat To Safety
Fortunately, Sarge was taken in by Mesquite Animal Services in Texas. The shelter staff describe him as an incredibly sweet and well-mannered dog. After getting abandoned by his family, he is now looking for a second chance at love, care, and safety (watch the video below).

He was nervous at first which is understandable. However, it wasn’t long before Sarge opened up and turned out to be a gentle giant. After knowing about Sarge and his disposition, it is quite shocking how can his parent abandon such a sweet dog in the middle of nowhere without any food, water, or shelter in the scorching heat.
In the comments, Sarge received an outpouring of support. Debbie Wades commented, “How do these people live with themselves 😢” and Jenni Lakaso wrote, “What a sweet face😍.”
Can You Give Sarge A Second Home?
It is not easy for abandoned dogs to feel safe and secure in a new environment, but Sarge seems to be an amazing dog who will adapt pretty quickly to a new home. His initial apprehension has turned to a friendly, affectionate, and sweet attitude.
All Sarge craves is someone to love him because as a shelter staff describes, he once tried to get on their lap to get some attention. Additionally, he is laid-back and isn’t too fond of the outdoors.
So, if you’re looking for a dog to love and receive a lot of love in return, Sarge might be the perfect companion for you. Visit Mesquite Animal Services to get more details about Sarge and how to adopt him.
