This is Mushroom, rescued from a dog slaughterhouse in Cambodia, by the Sound of animals. Mushroom was lucky not to have been one of millions of dogs, tortured and killed for their meat in South East Asia every year.

They have a sanctuary in Thailand that accommodates these traumatised dogs, called the blue dream shelter.
It is estimated that 5 million dogs in Cambodia are slaughtered for their meat every year. The dog meat torture tradeis one of the most serious animal welfare issue in AsiaMany of these dogs are family pets, snatched from their owners, and forced into tiny cages. Many suffer horrendous injuries, as they are transported, without food or water. When they finally arrive at the slaughterhouses, injured, dehydrated, exhausted, petrified, and covered in their own waste. They are forced to watch in terror, their companions tortured and killed.
