Paul Rush, from North Shields, North Tyneside, left his cross breed dog Scoobie unconscious on the floor after it was brutally beaten at the party at his home on September 2 last year.
Police found the dog just 'hours away from death' after being called to the property by neighbours, who rang 999 after hearing a woman scream.
Rush, 36, has now been jailed for 18 weeks and banned from keeping pets for life after he pleaded guilty to one count of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal at North Tyneside Magistrates' Court.
The court heard from RSPCA inspectors who described the case as one of the worst examples of animal cruelty ever seen.
Judith Curry, prosecuting, said police were initially called to Rush's home the early hours of September 2.
She said: 'They make a search and, in the kitchen, they find Scoobie. He was lying in his own faeces, unable to stand and, it would appear, in an unconscious state but certainly in a less than conscious state.
'When the defendant was asked what was wrong with the dog, he said there was nothing wrong and he attempted to make the dog stand.
