Medical Emergency Fund for Gideon

This stray shepherd-mix has a heart of gold, but his body tells a heartbreaking story of pain and survival. Gideon lived among other intact males in a rural area where fights were common, and he often found himself at the centre, leaving him with devastating injuries.

With no guardian to care for him, Gideon’s wounds became infected, and he desperately sought out help in a local community. Thankfully his kind rescuers were willing to go above and beyond for this boy and he was brought to the closest animal centre for help. Once under the care of his dedicated medical team it became clear just how extensive his injuries were. His entire body is covered in wounds. Gideon was sedated so the fur around his wounds could be shaved. His wounds were then carefully cleaned and drained to prevent further infection. Antibiotics and pain medication have helped start his physical healing, but there’s more to be done. In addition to his bite wounds, Gideon’s teeth tell a story of his past struggles. Eight of his teeth are broken, causing him significant pain. He needs oral surgery to ease his suffering and allow him to live comfortably.

Despite what he has gone through, Gideon’s gentle spirit remains unbroken. His tail wags for everyone he meets, and he sneaks affectionate kisses to those who care for him. You can see the transformation in Gideon’s eyes as he begins to heal, reflecting the comfort and care he’s finally receiving. Could you share your kindness with this friendly boy today to help provide him with the urgent medical care he needs to fully heal?

Personal updates for Gideon will be provided to anyone who donates towards his care.

*Goal includes: Wound care, oral surgery, medications, neuter surgery and daily care for Gideon until he is ready for adoption. If funds raised go above and beyond the needs of this pup, your kind gift will help the next animal who needs urgent medical care.
