Dog dragged by car begins recovery
Gatsby arrived at The Animal Foundation with a t-shirt wrapped around his leg.
Underneath the shirt - a deep wound where muscle and bone were exposed, covered in road grime.
Quivering in pain and limping through our halls, 3-year-old Gatsby needed medical attention after likely being dragged by a car.
His 46lb body bears severe road rash from a car tire or the asphalt. He was uncomfortable but incredibly sweet.
Our veterinary team is cleaning his wound regularly and giving him antibiotics and pain medication, but Gatsby will likely need care beyond what the shelter can provide.
Due to the severity of his injury, continued wound care may not provide a resolution and his leg may need amputation for a pain-free life. The cost of his care is high, and your support can make all the difference.
Please donate now to give Gatsby the chance at the happy, healthy life he deserves. Every dollar counts.
Together, we can make sure Gatsby gets the medical care he needs and deserves. Thank you!
