As part of NVH's partnership with The PAW Mission, we are happy to provide care to PAW's special needs cases! Check out a few of the the pets we've helped in the past few months:
Hank is a 5 year old English Bulldog, he was originally bought for 2k from a backyard breeder, and has lived the last five years in a dog run only being brought out to be studded. We can’t stress enough not to purchase from backyard breeders, because Hank is one of the “by-products.” Hank had infections in both eyes, a skin infection, a small mass on his rump, and a horrific ear infection when he came to see us. Hank is somewhat vision impaired, after having chronic dry eye for years being untreated, we believe he sees shadows.
We are happy to report that Hank has now experienced great relief from all of his infections, been neutered, gotten up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and most importantly found a loving new home!
King and several others of his litter were attacked by their mama at the shelter, resulting and some pretty scary-looking facial wounds. Poor little man, we all thought he was a bull terrier when he came to see us due to all the swelling. Thankfully he’s doing much better after receiving cold laser therapy and antibiotics to treat the infection. He, along with his littermates, are still looking for their forever homes.
This beautiful boy is the big bruiser of the bunch, biggest by far, he is definitely going to need someone to help him learn proper manners. We are guessing King will be about 70 lbs when he gets bigger, and oh so very handsome with his brilliant blue eyes! If you'd like to meet them, contact info@thepawmission.com.
Albert was pulled from shelter knowing he had been hit by a car sometime before intake. The PAW Mission rushed him over to see us right away, in a lot of pain and filthy. He has a fractured pelvis and actually had maggots in a wound on his back end. Poor guy has a long road of healing before him but he's doing much better with adequate pain control and antibiotics.
We love that you can see the relief in his face and posture in this photo, "Someone is finally taking care of me!"
