Annabelle the Shih Tzu was one of the worst cases of animal abuse that the team at Richmond Animal Care and Control (RACC) had ever witnessed. The shelter was called in to rescue a dog after a couple found her wrapped in plastic and stashed behind a building in Richmond, Virginia. The dog was literally thrown in the trash.
