Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sitter needed: 11/19/24 - 11/25/24
Meet Pip, a 2-year-old mixed breed whose heart is as big as his story is heartbreaking. Just days ago, Pip was pulled into our care on what was meant to be his final day. The shelter he came from couldn't handle the severity of his injuries, initially believed to be from a car accident, but we now know he was the victim of gunshot wounds. For weeks, Pip endured this pain without any medical care-no pain relief, no wound treatment-yet he remained as sweet and loving as ever.
Since coming to us, we've discovered that Pip's injury is far worse than we thought, and it's in his best interest to amputate his leg. Despite everything he's been through, Pip is a perfect patient, lying still and trusting us completely during his daily wound care, as if he knows we're here to help him.
Pip now needs a hero-a medical foster or someone ready to provide the care he needs during his recovery. He's on medications and requires bandage changes, but he's nothing short of an angel. Amputation will give Pip a pain-free life, and tripods thrive just as much-if not more-than their four-legged friends. Pip's road to recovery is long, but his spirit shows he's ready for the journey. Will you be the one to help him take that first step?
