PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Two animals were rescued from two separate homes in Delaware County due to animal abuse.

"Each day is a blessing for our latest cruelty-surviving residents Bella the dog and Hopper the cat, rescued from two different households," says Providence Animal Center on Facebook.

Officials say Hopper was beaten with a bat and suffered a fractured jaw. She's resting up now and will be evaluated by a specialist.

Providence Animal Center didn't say what happened to Bella, but say she is "eating well and enjoyed a romp in the outside playpens."

"Continue sending your love. They're far from out of the woods," said the animal center.
