This guy only has a few days for someone to step up & sponsor him for vet care or he will be put down…
This is the saddest case of neglect I have ever seen. This poor boy, whom we have named Will, is in need of immediate attention. Will was found on Friday laying in the drive way of a local citizen. Will was about frozen to death. He was unable to stand. Will has severe injury to his face. In the last two days with evaluation it appears that Will was most likely hit by a car in the past and his back left leg was broken as well as his jaw. Will's mouth will not open more than an inch. It appears that the injuries to his face are most likely a secondary injury due to his condition. Will feels like a skeleton. He has no body fat. It appears that his jaw healed which prevented him from opening his mouth and he has literally starved because he can't open his mouth. When Will was brought to the shelter he drank alot of water. He can eat somewhat but it is very difficult for him. He can only eat dry small kibble and he swallows it whole. Will cannot eat soft food and you can't force feed him because his mouth won't open. Plus you can't put meds in him. We have been giving him injectable penicillin. Will can see out of his right eye somewhat. He can hear very well.
He appears to be 4-5 years old. He has been neutered if you can believe it. So at sometime in his life he was someones loved pet we hope. We just wonder where they are now?! Will appears to be a chow/spaniel mix. He is a medium sized boy. He doesn't weigh much now, but would probably top outaround 40 pounds or so. Will's tail never stops wagging. He is not ready to quit trying to live. That's why we named him "Will". This dog has a strong will to live and there is not much we can do for him at the shelter.
We need someone to sponsor him to go to the vet for a physical exam. Depending on his diagnosis he will need possible surgery for his mouth. We can't go forward with
anything until his mouth is examined and fixed. If anyone can help please let us know asap. We can only give him a few more days in this condition...NOT because we don't want to but we feel that he is suffering because he has trouble eating. For more details on Will please email us below.
