Ann LaBelle hasn't added a story.
Mason turned 8 last month and Otto turned 8 this month....and we are losing them both too early due to different medical issues. These two boys have been residents since the beginning of Pit Crew due to behavioral issues and losing them both has hit us really hard.
So when we saw Hobbes, a defeated, malnourished, heartworm positive, 8 year old that no one wanted we knew we needed to help. We wanted to take the ache in our hearts and honor our boys by helping another in need....will you help us honor Otto and Mason?
Hobbes is in tough shape, but when he stares up at you with those soft brown eyes you see nothing but trust and love from him. His body tells a sad story of a past that was painful and so incredibly unkind. Though he can't tell us his story we can see he had it rough. Each bone sticks out from under thinly covered skin that is bare and has sores in places. He has bite wounds on his neck and legs, some old and scarred some fresh, some swollen and possibly infected. His belly is full of parasites of every kind (GROSS) stealing whatever nutrition he could find. His heart is so full of worms that it makes his breath gurgle if he gets excited or happy. When he pants you can see that a portion of his tongue is missing as well. Even with his past what it was, Hobbes wants nothing but your love...and food! He follows you around hoping for a little rub and if you find that perfect spot on his back he rewards you with the biggest smile ever.
Hobbes will be going into the vet for blood work, fecal, deworming, medications, a series of x-rays on both his heart & front leg, wound cleaning, urinalysis and skin scrapes. And anything else the vet feels he may need due to his condition. It will be a long day for him, but hopefully he will love all the attention and treats.
After a life of hardship and no one to love him we have the opportunity to help him heal, a chance to let him start his road to recovery. With losing our two boys, it's so important for us to help him get a second chance at a better life. Will you help us help Hobbes?
