DESPERATE PLEA – END-OF-LIFE FOSTER OR ADOPTION NEEDED FOR TROY & TARYN
We are urgently searching for a compassionate foster or adopter willing to open their heart and home to two senior dogs who may be nearing the end of their lives and deserve comfort, dignity, and love after unimaginable neglect.
Troy and Taryn were found living in substandard conditions, suffering from severe malnutrition and starvation. Their bodies show the toll of prolonged neglect. One of them, Troy, had a stomach full of socks—so many that he was passing them for over a week, a heartbreaking sign of extreme hunger and desperation.
Both dogs are elderly pit bull–type mixes, estimated to be 12 and 13 years old. Despite everything they’ve endured, they are friendly, loving, and deeply human-oriented. However, due to their history and age, they have understandable resource guarding and must be the only pets in the home. They should not be placed with other animals.
They are currently still hospitalized at the veterinary clinic, receiving ongoing treatment. One or both may be suffering liver damage as a result of prolonged dehydration and starvation. Their future is uncertain—but what is certain is that they should not spend whatever time they have left in a kennel or hospital run.
About the dogs:
Taryn – Black and white, approximately 13 years old (the elder)
Troy – Brown, approximately 12 years old (the one who ingested the socks)
Both are affectionate, people-loving seniors
Must be only pets due to age and resource guarding
Ideal for a quiet, stable home willing to provide comfort care
This is not a “fix them” situation. This is a plea for kindness, compassion, and a soft place to land. Whether it’s weeks or months, Troy and Taryn deserve to feel safe, warm, and loved.
