Scroll down for most recent UPDATE 1 - 8 - 12 URGENT NEED! PawPaw Paradise - Weeping Wounds Vet Bill 1-8-12 - We have cut back on the number of dogs we are intaking due to not enough fosters and my parents being ill in Tennessee. It is not easy to travel back and forth monthyly and foster dogs while running a rescue. I had just said I was full and wasn't taking any more dogs with the dogs I have already committed to, but.. this boy spoke to me and my volunteer Martha who picked him up for me. Please pray that he will heal up and not get a systemic infection. We thank you for your prayers. The shelter had him on antibiotics and pain meds. For which I thank them. Anyway, Martha picked him up and saved me hours of driving down and back to pick him up. THANK YOU MARTHA!!! YOU ARE A WONDERFUL VOLUNTEER AND I LOVE YOU!!! This is what Martha has to say about him, QUOTE: Introducing PawPaw Paradise; he was at the Garland shelter. PawPaw appears to have been mauled by a dog. He has a large open weeping wound on his neck and two deep weeping (and very stinky) puncture wounds on his back. He also has scabs on one ear and some very rough scabby feeling places around his neck. The Garland shelter had him on antibiotics and pain medications which I am continuing. PawPaw is a very sweet boy who was trying to give me kisses even when I was cleaning his wounds and he was shaking like a leaf. I gave him a warm bath with baby shampoo and cleaned him with some peroxide and applied a topical medication packing it in to the puncture wounds on his back. PawPaw ate some TOTW like he’d been starving (he may be a chow hound as he isn’t skinny) and has taken care of his potty business outside. I had to wrap a leash around his middle to take him outside as I doubt he is going to want a harness or collar near his wounds right now. I think once he is healed he will be a very playful boy. He tried to play tug with Rocky, but I think it hurt so he stopped. He wants to be sitting on my lap and is going to be a cuddle bug. My guess is he is about 5-6 years old and weighs around 20 pounds. His teeth have some tarter. He has fairly good muscle tone. I really like this little guy. END OF QUOTE I want to thank all of your for your prayers for this little one. Thank you all for caring about the dogs. Won't you please consider pledging just $10 to help this neglected/abused little guy get well? ABTR is committed to doing all we can for him, but our resources have been stretched enormously over the past several years and with donations down, we really need some help to give this little guy and other Bostons the chance they deserve. We are grateful for each and every contribution. Thank you. As always, we at ABTR appreciate your continued support of our rescue efforts. Without your generosity and support, we could not have helped as many dogs as we have over the years. :) Thank you so very much.
