Crunch Update 💔
Our hearts are shattered. Crunch passed away today. From something completely avoidable.
After being assessed by two veterinarians, it was clear that he was suffering and sadly beyond the point of recovery. Crunch also tested positive for Lepto—a devastating, highly contagious disease that can be prevented through routine vaccination.
Crunch deserved a forever family and so much more time. We are incredibly grateful to the Tucker K9 and Bullies to the Rescue teams for advocating for him, and especially to KC with Tucker K9 for making sure Crunch knew love in his final days and moments.
I have so much anger on behalf of Crunch. No dog deserves to sit in suffering, especially not because of something that could have been prevented with a simple vaccine. Period.
We’ll carry Crunch with us as we continue working to help dogs in our community live happy, healthy lives.
Crunch, I am so sorry we didn't find you sooner. You are so loved. You matter. You aren't forgotten. I am just so, so sorry, buddy.
Any funds donated for Crunch will go toward the next dog who needs the support of the DBR family. 🤎
