Can anyone help 💔
I was driving when I saw an old dog running on the 51 freeway.
Then watched him get hit by a car.
I pulled over and another kind woman stopped too. We got him off the freeway and onto the streets. By some miracle he ran into a yard with a sliding gate and I shut it behind him.
I didn’t have a leash. He was hot and terrified. So I called for help. Humane told me he wasn’t injured enough for them and transferred me to county.
County told me it would be two hours before they could get there and they could not open the gate when they arrived.
Their suggestion??
OPEN THE GATE AND LET HIM OUT. They would try to find him later.
What the actual f**k.
I canceled every appointment I had went and bought a leash and came back from him. This scared hot boy let me leash him and jumped right in my car 😭
he was so hot, filthy, incredibly skinny and exhausted. He has a mass in his leg that needs to be evaluated. We named him Grampy ❤️
And now I’m sitting here wondering what I’m supposed to do. Our rescue is struggling. We have a lot of dogs depending on us and so many medical bills. I know we can’t keep saying yes when there’s nothing left to say with.
But after this old man trusted me enough to climb in my car, the thought of driving him to county is absolutely killing me.
So I’m asking for help. Begging for help.
if we can help raise enough to cover Grampy‘s medical care, I will personally foster him.
He’ll have a soft bed. He’ll sleep inside. He’ll have good food. Clean water and air-conditioning. He’ll finally know what it feels like to be someone’s old man instead of someone’s forgotten yard dog.
Any amount is never too small. It really adds up. If you can’t donate, please share him.
He’s survived the freeway, being hit by a car and somehow you ran into the one yard where I could close the gate behind him.
Maybe that was his miracle. I’m just praying we can be the rest of it 💔🐾😭
