As if being stung by thousands of bees wasn’t already bad enough, he was abandoned at a shelter after the incident by his family.
The deaf Pit Bull, subsequently dubbed Stinger by rescuers, came at the shelter covered in life-threatening blisters all over his body.
As they couldn’t treat a dog in this bad of condition, they planned on euthanizing him.
That’s when Carri Shipaila, who operates LuvnPupz rescue in Greater Grand Rapids, MI, stepped in to help. As soon as she heardaout Stinger, she hopped in her car and drove nearly an hour to take him up from the shelter.
Regrettably, his family declined to take him, so she immediately began to work to save Stinger’s life. They treated his stings, as well as a subsequent skin infection and sarcoptic mange.
Unfortunately, he wound up having Pemphigus, an autoimmune illness, which he will suffer for the rest of his life.
Because of the costs of his care, he will never be up for adoption, but he did find a loving forever home with a foster and will continue to receive care and therapy from LuvnPupz.
Stinger has come such a long way from when he first was dumped at the shelter. His painful blisters have finally healed and he has a gorgeous white coat.
He is such a lively, loving dog and is enjoying his new life in a loving home!
The sign reads, “Unlucky dog – Please help!” as it stands in the middle of a deserted street, catching the eye of anyone who passes by
This was the heartbreaking message left by the puppy’s owner when they abandoned her. The little pup sat forlorn, nestled near a rock, her eyes fixed on the path that the owner had taken, a path from which they would never return to collect her.
A concerned neighbor called Hope For Pets when she stumbled upon the abandoned puppy. Her fear of dogs prevented her from getting too close, and the puppy had been left there since the early morning.
The rescue team interviewed several neighbors, but no one had any information about the puppy. It seemed she had been left behind by a stranger who, out of fear that she might follow them home, had tethered her to a rock.
Physically, the puppy was in good health, but her body reeked, and she was in desperate need of a thorough cleaning.
In a bid to find information about her owner, the rescue team posted pictures of the abandoned puppy on social media with the caption “Unlucky Puppy – Help Me!” The response was overwhelming, with hundreds of people expressing their anger and dismay.
Dogs are known for their unwavering loyalty and companionship, always standing by our side, sharing in our joys and sorrows. There is no justification for labeling them as “Unlucky Dogs” and leaving them to fend for themselves.
Such behavior is not just inappropriate; it’s downright cruel. Hope For Pets continues its search for information about the heartless owner.
If you have any information about the puppy or her owner, please come forward. Justice must prevail, and we hope to identify the person responsible as soon as possible, ensuring that they face the consequences of their actions before the law.
