This poor dog waited for weeks on a back road in the middle of nowhere. No food. No shelter. He sat there hoping that someone would come back for him, but they never came. People began reporting sightings of a “ghost dog” — hugging the road’s edge, always in the same place, always waiting. They left food, but he wouldn’t let anyone near. He was waiting for someone who wasn’t coming. Eventually, he grew too weak to run, and that’s when he was finally caught.
I know that I am preaching to the choir, but abandoned dogs don’t find a magical farm home. They starve. They get hit by cars. They get shot. Sometimes, they get lucky and someone cares enough to try to help, like this poor guy. He is safe now, but he has a long way to go and he is hospitalized while we work through all the things he has – lyme disease and ehrlychia, heartworms, starvation and a skin infection.
We’re tired. This is happening more often and it’s overwhelming. We are absolutely buried in dogs needing help. What we need is foster help and cash. This guy does not need to come to the kennel and we could definitely use foster help. We also need cash. Anything will help as the numbers are crushing us. If you’re within driving distance of Nashville and can foster, email [email protected].
