Dachshund Rescue South Florida hasn't added a story.
He is not a dachshund. He is not even close to being a dachshund and he may not have ever even met a dachshund. Apollo is a German Shepard Puppy who is near death this evening at LeadER after his family tried to cure his hook worms by feeding him garlic and onions.
His body was already compromised by the hookworms inside of him literally eating him to death and then instead of vetting him, Apollo's family fed him garlic and onions to try and cure the worms which then made him anemic on top of having worms and this evening, they brought this tiny puppy to LeadER to be put down due to failing him twice by not treating his worms and then nearly killing him by trying to cure him.
There was no time to try and find a German Shepherd rescue that was prepared to help a dangerously anemic puppy with a hematocrit level of 7 (which should be between 30 and 55) and since German Shepherd's are German, that is kind of like cousins of Doxies and so Apollo is now a DRSF dog and under the care of Dr. Miller and receiving a life saving transfusion.
We are coming up on holiday season and we hope that you agree that Apollo deserved a chance. (It also occurred to us that helping a not-even-close-to-being-a-doxie/larger breed dog once year might be tradition we start to help and pay it forward for all the rescue groups in our area who work with the bigger dogs...)
In the mean time, we couldn't live with ourselves if we knowingly let Apollo die, literally at the hands of his family, and so tonight, this little boy is receiving the care that is his only chance to have the life he deserves.
It is no fun to get the call that says "you are his only chance" so we hope you agree that there was only one answer that we could give. We have no guarantees that Apollo will make it, but we had to try and we are here to ask your support to rally behind him to give him that chance. As always, even $1 helps us cover his care so that we can be there for the next little one who needs even more help after being "treated" by his family.
