Too Many Urgent "Rescue Only" Dogs Need Help
Scrappy is another puppy who came into the shelter urgently needing help. This poor boy is only 4 months old and has almost no hair left on his body. His skin is cracked, swollen and covered in scabs. He’s miserable, and every time he scratches he’s tearing open his skin.
Once again the amazing staff at Murabella Animal Hospital saved the day, squeezing us in even though they were short staffed and overbooked already. Dr. Kern did a skin scrape, and thankfully he has Demodectic mange, which is not contagious. He has a skin infection throughout his entire body, his skin is burning hot to the touch, his paws and joints are swollen, and he's in pretty rough shape.
He's recovering in his foster home thanks to Courtney. He's not out of the woods yet, but at least this little guy is now safe in his new foster home. Thank you to everyone who helped this sweet pup — we can't save them without your help!
