“We want to thank the Atlantic City HLEO officers for their rush to get her treated and investigate the case. We also want to thank Absecon Veterinary Hospital & Emergency for their job getting this sweet girl stabilized overnight,” the post read.

Callie needed emergency surgery and the Humane Society said she is doing great on day one of post-op. The dog was eating normally and walking around, getting a little better and stronger every day.

“Surgery went well. Time will tell but we are hopeful she'll pull through. She had necrotic tissue from a miscarriage so she'll need care for a while,” the post read.

The organization was soliciting donations to help with Callie’s recovery. At last check, $1,680 was raised for Callie’s recovery.
