Meet some of our new dogs
Puppy spay and neuters, surgeries, dogs in need of extra TLC due to neglect, and heartworm positive dogs in need of treatment were part of our week.
To show you what a difference your donations make, read on for the update on Hercules – a puppy currently getting the care he needs in one of our foster homes.
The foster family’s update:
Hercules is celebrating two weeks in recovery! His swelling is all gone, his skin is healing beautifully, and he is acting like a puppy. He losing his big baby teeth and is waiting patiently for the tooth fairy to bring some teething toys. We’ve been working on sit all week and he is starting to get it. Perhaps next week he will have it mastered.We have a little ways to go to get to rough and tumble. His skin is still sensitive and itches enough that he creates a new break from time to time. A lot of fur has started coming back in with a few bald spots left on his feet where then worst of the swelling was. Overall, his skin is a little too pink, but far far far from red. He is still getting regular baths and going though his course of antibiotics. We expect just as much improvement though the end of next week.
Hercules is a four month old puppy that came to us very hungry and with a severe skin infection/swelling.
Hercules is making progress in Week 2
