We received this plea today from a shelter volunteer. There is a male 5-6 week old black lab mixed pup at Dekalb. His belly is distended from worms and he has the start of KC, the pup also has a lump on one side above his ribs that feels like some type of soft tissue injury. The poor little thing is not really eating his food, just licking the gel off the canned food. He is being held in the intake bay and has not been exposed to the general population. I am heartbroken that I could not take him today while getting pictures, I only pray that he makes it through the night. If anyone has room in their heart and home for this sweet baby, please contact the adoption/rescue coordinator immediately!
This pup desperately needs our help! The volunteer has offered to help sponsor this puppy to give him a second chance by matching the first $50 in donations, but we will still need to raise funds before we can commit to pulling a special needs pet. Total Funds Needed: $200Current Donations: $65Still Needed: $135 We will need to act swiftly if we are to raise the sponsorship in time. Please help spread the word, cross-posting is one of the easiest ways to help out. All donations are greatly appreciated and tax deductible. Thank you to all of our supporters, we could not continue our work without all of you!
UPDATE
From Rock's foster mom (Yes we pulled him without enough funds because we could not let him be pts. This means we are in debt and can not help another pet before he raised all his funds. We know we broke the rules but Rock only knew abuse in his very short life, he needed to know love and puppiness so we pulled him)
Our little guy is doing really well on his antibiotics. I took Rock(y) to the vet on MondayJoyner diagnosed him with congenitalgenetic defect that causes dwarfism

surgery, although his legs may straighten out some just from him
growing stronger as he runs and plays.
