Well, it happened again. Another dumped dog, this time clear out near Kerby and Cave Junction, was spotted running around in the mountains for at least the past couple months. 💔
When we finally found out about this guy's situation, we knew we had to get involved. While it's always sad to hear about a starving dog in the wilderness, the silver lining is that his hunger made it possible to catch him rather quickly.
He is now safe and sound in a foster home. A huge thank you to our new foster, Kim, for stepping up! 👏🏻 He's been adapting to home life quickly, and showing off how intelligent he is. While most dogs show signs of severe trauma after we bring them in from the wild, this guy has decided he's going to skip all that and be a bundle of energetic rowdiness 😂
Please note we are completely foster-based, and can't continue saving lives unless we have foster homes ready to help.
Thank you to everyone else that ended up being involved, as well—Raleigh, Denise, Deputy Watson, Corina, and the staff at the Josephine County Animal Shelter. It lifts our hearts knowing there are so many good people out there that love helping our furry friends! ❤️
We're convinced this dog was dumped, but on the off-chance he's yours, please reach out to us.
He will otherwise be available for adoption once his holding period is over, if you're interested in meeting him please DM us your phone number and email address.
He'll be going to the vet this Friday, and getting fixed next week. If you are able, please consider donating $15, $25, or $50 so we can pay for his medical expenses and continue in our mission to save lives. Our goal is to raise at least $1,000 to cover our recent and upcoming expenses. We truly can't exist without the financial support of our community as none of this is cheap.
