#update on Homer! While in the care of his former owner, sweet pup
#Homer was brutally attacked by several other dogs. The violence left him with critical injuries, but instead of getting Homer the care he needed, Homer's owner ignored him. This sweet boy was relegated to the yard and left to rot in excruciating pain for over a week. Out of desperation, Homer tried to CHEW OFF HIS OWN LEG in order to end the agony it was causing. Local law enforcement does little to actually enforce the few animal welfare laws in this area, leaving rescuers on their own to help animals like Homer. Thankfully, rescuers were able to convince Homer's owner to surrender this poor dog into their care. As soon as they had him, they rushed him to the hospital for help. Since being hospitalized, Homer's doctors tried what they could to save his mangled limb. However, the damage was so extensive that the only treatment that would guarantee Homer a pain-free future was amputation. Homer underwent surgery to remove his mutilated leg and has been recovering ever since. Had he not been neglected for so long by his former owner, it is possible his leg could have been saved. Homer will need a month of recovery from his amputation before undergoing a second surgery to repair damage to his femur and hip. He will then need 6-8 weeks to heal from that operation. This sweet boy still has a very long road ahead of him. We need your help to ensure his care can continue and his rescue has all the resources they need to help him heal. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Homer thus far. We hope you will continue to support this sweet boy by sharing his story and donating if you're able.
