In the heart of Kentucky, a young pitbull mix named Lynch is facing a desperate situation. Lynch has found himself at the Paris Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) not once, not twice, but three times over the past year and a half. This story is not one of the typical sad tales we often encounter. It's a story that has truly broken the hearts of those at the shelter.

How Lynch's Journey Began

Lynch first arrived at the shelter as a stray in May 2023. His owner briefly reclaimed him, but then in February 2024, Lynch returned as a stray and was left without a new home. A month later, a new owner came forward and adopted Lynch. However, just a few days before, on Sunday, Nov. 24, PAWS received a heartbreaking notification that Lynch had been found abandoned at another shelter about an hour away.When Lynch was adopted in March 2024, he weighed 65 lbs. But now, due to the neglect he endured, he weighs only 39.3 lbs. Despite this, Lynch still greets the staff at PAWS with unwavering happiness, his tail constantly wagging. It's a sight that tugs at the heartstrings and shows just how resilient this dog is.
