a heartbreaking story and a special request from ebrn..

Each dog that comes into the rescue has a need but sometimes we come across a special case such as this. This poor emaciated boy was found living outside being starved to death, literally! He is currently being treated at Dr. Angels vet hospital receiving what we hope will be life saving care. If there was ever a desperate need for donations to help save a life, this is the time to help.

We call him General Patton or "Patton" for short.  We were notified about this boy on 1/2/2014. He was taken Immediately to our vet, and quite honestly,  unsure if he was going to make it.. He is extremely emaciated, full of hook and round worms. He is also High heart worm Poss. He is on IV fluids. As of today he is slowly gaining strength, his appetite is improving, his bowel movements are not as bloody as they were the first 2 days. The DR's introduced some dry food yesterday he kept that down. So far so good. At this time we are not sure but, he MAY have to have his right eye removed due to Severe neglect.. The left eye has a very deep ulcer and is being treated. Pls keep Patton in your Thoughts.. If you should see or suspect animal abuse Report to the Proper Authorities. You can remain anonymous... Dogs cannot speak for themselves. It is up to us as dog advocates to stand up for them and do the right thing. If you would like to sponsor Patton and help get him on the fast track to recover, please consider a donation. We are doing everything possible, no matter the cost to try and save his life. No living spirit should ever have to endure the neglect and abuse that he has suffered. If you cannot make a monetary donation, please keep him in your thoughts as he will need all the support possible to overcome what was so cruely done to him. 

Regards,

EBRN

Please keep me informed of his progress. I have rescued over 7 bulldogs.. Ambulls, English bulldogs over the past 15 years, some with special needs. They have lived out their lives with love and constant attention. I will give what I can when I get my check. I want to make sure he goes to a loving compassionate home. I currently have a special needs English bulldog and a rescue pitbull/boston terrier.

Julia,

Thank you for the rescue work you have done. We know it isn't always easy but, the success stories are what keeps us going. We are updating Pattons' progress as word comes in from the vet. Thank you for keeping him in your thoughts.
