Miracle is between five and six years old and can barely stand on her own.

She was found in the bushes outside the Walgreens located at 700 W. Broward Blvd. on Saturday night.

The couple that found her called iHeart Animal Rescue, and they jumped in to take the dog to the emergency room.

The vet said despite the severe state she is in, the dog can recover, which is why the ladies at the rescue say they are going to fight for her.

“To know someone watched this dog suffer and torture it to this point, I don’t want to cry again… it’s awful,” said Cheryl Marrone with iHeart Animal Rescue.

So far, Miracle has racked up $5,000 in medical costs.
