My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Lonestar is currently being fostered in HOUSTON, TX. He is available for local or out-of-state adoption to the perfect family! Transport to out-of-state adopter will be coordinated by Red Collar Rescue and is included in the adoption fee.

Hello, my name is Lonestar, as my heart is as big as Texas!

I was hit by a car and taken to the shelter in critical condition. Red Collar was contacted and rushed to pick me up and take me to the ER. My front leg was broken in several places, I had a large deep gash across the back of my neck which required numerous stitches and a suction drain. The worst wound was on my left flank. The trauma caused a huge area to gangrene, leaving an open wound approximately 7 inches in diameter on my side, with no skin to sew back together, thus requiring daily debridement of dead tissue and laser therapy.

I spent numerous days in 24/7 critical care. It is a miracle that I survived! Took me 4 months to heal. I have a few scars from the incident, but medically I am good as new!

I am about 1 year old and 17 lbs. I am living in a foster home with several K9 kids of all sizes, and get along with all of them.

I am searching for a special forever home! Someone who will take great care of me, so I will never again be in harms way! If you think we might be a perfect match...please contact info@redcollar.org. XOXO!
