Sherbet


Please share/crosspost!

Could you spare $5 to save this poor dog?

Sherbet was very lucky that the day his owners brought him to the vets to be put to sleep, our friend Shari Drube was in the waiting room.  Here is how she described it:  “[They brought in] a 2 year old, sweet, sweet, sweet male Pyr to be euthed because he was staying skinny, but their other dogs were fat. He had been in a pen with other dogs and had an injured eye last month from the others beating up on him. Now I am no rocket scientist, but could it possibly be that the others were keeping him from eating or maybe the fact that he had never been wormed/vetted contributed? The people were sobbing when they dropped him off and the vet tech brought him right to me where he implored me to save him without words. Such a sweet boy, rubbed his head against any hand he saw and pleaded with those liquid brown eyes. We are thinking of naming him  Creamsicle, Push Pop or Sherbet because that is his color from being rolled  in the cold, orange mud by the other dogs.”
 
Shari, of course, scooped him up.  She and the wonderful people at Lonestar North will nurse him back to health, get him vetted, transport him to safety in New England and eventually find him a good home.  Unfortunately, Sherbet has a number of medical issues aside from being painfully thin – he has worms and needs operations on both knees.

They need our help to save this sweet Pyr.  Our donations will help with the vet costs for this poor guy.
