“In the face of Dora’s heartbreaking situation, our team embarked on a mission to rescue and care for her. Arriving at the scene, we witnessed her perilous attempts to navigate traffic, dodging speeding cars that threatened her safety. It was clear we needed to intervene swiftly to prevent further harm.
Upon closer examination, Dora’s condition was dire. Injuries from a previous accident hindered her ability to walk, and her skin bore the scars of harsh weather, causing her to lose fur. Determined to help, we brought Dora into our care, providing a safe haven for her to receive the necessary medical attention.
Under the vigilant care of veterinarians, Dora began the healing process. Treatment for her injuries and dedicated care led to a gradual recovery of her skin and a newfound strength in her step.
As Dora’s health improved, we showered her with love and support, helping her regain not only physical strength but also confidence. Her transformation was remarkable – she walked with ease, and her fur grew back, restoring her appearance.
Recognizing that Dora deserved a forever home filled with love and security, we set out to find the perfect family. After an extensive search, we connected with a wonderful family eager to welcome her into their lives.
With her new family, Dora thrived, experiencing a life brimming with love, comfort, and companionship. Her incredible journey stands as a testament to the resilience, hope, and the unbreakable bond that exists between humans and animals.”
Fortunate Rescue: Deaf Dog Stung Countless Times by Bees Receives Lifesaving Help
As if being stung by thousands of bees wasn’t already bad enough, he was abandoned at a shelter after the incident by his family.
The deaf Pit Bull, subsequently dubbed Stinger by rescuers, came at the shelter covered in life-threatening blisters all over his body.
As they couldn’t treat a dog in this bad of condition, they planned on euthanizing him.
That’s when Carri Shipaila, who operates LuvnPupz rescue in Greater Grand Rapids, MI, stepped in to help. As soon as she heardaout Stinger, she hopped in her car and drove nearly an hour to take him up from the shelter.
Regrettably, his family declined to take him, so she immediately began to work to save Stinger’s life. They treated his stings, as well as a subsequent skin infection and sarcoptic mange.
Unfortunately, he wound up having Pemphigus, an autoimmune illness, which he will suffer for the rest of his life.
Because of the costs of his care, he will never be up for adoption, but he did find a loving forever home with a foster and will continue to receive care and therapy from LuvnPupz.
Stinger has come such a long way from when he first was dumped at the shelter. His painful blisters have finally healed and he has a gorgeous white coat.
He is such a lively, loving dog and is enjoying his new life in a loving home!
