His name is now Josiah, but even a few weeks ago, he didn't know love, compassion, or even a name. This sweet hound mix experienced nothing more than pain, betrayal, & misery.
He came to the foster home where he is now, through a little luck & some kind hearted people. He wandered up to a man's house, hungry, covered in ticks, confused & wounded.
The next day, Project Paws got a call about him & we had an open foster home for him. Josiah is a mess. He has bite woulds all over his body. Both new & old. His ears have rips in them, his neck is covered in punctures which are infected, his face has several bite scars, and his legs have been bitten too.
We have come to the conclusion that he was used as a "bait" dog for pitbull fighting. He has all the classic signs of it. And yet, he is the sweetest dog ever. He is good with other dogs, and doesn't mind cats.
Josiah was given a bath today, his wounds cleaned, and given an antibiotic shot. But he will need to go to the vet soon this week.
Project Paws needs help! WE are a EXTREMELY NEW rescue, who are taking up for the local shelter not accepting animals. We can't save them all...but we saved this one! We need to find him another rescue ASAP so we can take in more! He needs help NOW. The foster home he is in now, is a great safe place for him, but its an outdoor foster home & is NOT a good long-term situation!
Today i got a hug from a very thankful dog!
Tomorrow i will watch another dog starve if we can't find a place for this one, so we have space for the next.
Even donations to help get him neutered so he can be adoptable would be awesome!!! He needs shots, dewormed & neutered. Total, that will cost around $90. And a possible HW Check which is $30. The sooner we can afford medical treatment, the faster we can get him to a loving, forever home!!!
