BOTETOURT COUNTY, Va. (WFXR) – From the moment Botetourt County posted the first picture of Mr. Buttons on social media, he captured the community’s heart.
He arrived at Angels of Assisi with pressure sores, worms, and multiple diseases. The staff got to work, but the neglect was so extreme that unfortunately, Mr. Buttons didn’t make it.
“I think that’s what is so heartbreaking about his case. We feel that he suffered for a long time and we had really hoped to give him some time when he wasn’t, and in the couple day we had him, I think that happened. We just wished it was longer,” said Lisa O’Neill, the director of Angels of Assisi.
