Chihuahua Found with Eyes and Private Parts Glued Shut in Horrific Los Angeles Abuse Case

In one of the most disturbing animal cruelty cases Los Angeles has ever seen, a tiny Chihuahua named CeCe was found wandering Skid Row with her eyes and genitals glued shut with Gorilla Glue. Rescuers from Starts With One Today Animal Rescue initially thought she had a simple eye infection—until a vet made the horrifying discovery that her condition was deliberate.

👉 SIGN THE PETITION to demand a lifetime ban on animal ownership and mandatory psychological counseling for whoever did this to CeCe.


A Crime That Shocked Even Veterinarians

When veterinarians examined CeCe, they were horrified to find both her eyes and private parts intentionally sealed shut. “It was deliberate, calculated, and cruel,” said the attending vet, describing the case as one of the worst they’ve ever seen. The rescue’s founder, Joey Tuccio, called it part of a wider pattern of abuse they encounter daily in Skid Row—where dogs are burned, overdosed, or discarded like trash.

CeCe is now safe and receiving around-the-clock care through Starts With One Today Animal Rescue. Her healing journey will take months of treatment, rehabilitation, and love.

👉 SIGN THE PETITION to demand the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office prosecute this case to the fullest extent of the law and ensure lifetime bans for anyone convicted.


Why This Case Must Spark Change

Acts of cruelty this extreme reveal deep psychological disturbance. Experts agree that without mental health intervention, offenders are highly likely to reoffend—placing more animals, and potentially people, at risk. Compassionate accountability means not only punishment but prevention through therapy and lifelong restrictions on animal ownership.

CeCe’s story isn’t just about one abused dog—it’s about a system that must do more to protect the voiceless. Her suffering cannot be undone, but it can drive change if the public demands justice.

👉 SIGN THE PETITION to urge LA authorities to impose lifetime bans and mandatory counseling. Let’s ensure CeCe’s pain leads to reform and that no animal endures cruelty like this again.


Justice for CeCe starts with us. Every voice counts. Every signature matters. Together, we can turn heartbreak into change. 🐾
