This is the story Bjarni tells about his dog.The dog was taken in from a hard home and had a severely disfigured face. Despite being ignored by passersby at first, those who found this dog’s story saw it as a worthy cause to support. As he is currently being cared by a foster parent, there seems to be no immediate danger for the dog before he is adopted into his forever family.

Bjarni had a half-nase and several bite scars from an animal attack. He struggled to eat and breath. His owners refused his return, even though he was being offered the chance to be euthanized.

St. Francis’ Angels, an emergency foster-home organization in Houston, Texas is one of the few organizations that will take ill pets off the streets so they can get help before they’re surrendered to a shelter. Annie Graber, the founder of St. Francis’ Angels, took in a pitbull with hydrocephalus and other medical issues earlier this month.
After surgery, Bjarni’s face is completely re-aligned and he can breathe and eat properly! Bjarni, despite having had some difficult experiences, is one of the shelter’s most friendly dogs. “Vivacious and engaging. He is totally unaware of his limitations and disfigurement,” Anne The Huffington Post.

Update: We’re happy to say that Bjarni has found a nice forever home with a family that is accepting of him and is filled with love! He began his new life with a new name ‘Hogan’.
