Laura Bendixsen hasn't added a story.
Jackson was found with very little body fur, far underweight &
clearly neglected (possibly beaten), by a local vet in December of
2011. Someone had left Jack tied to the vets door in the middle of a
freezing December night.
He was brought to the local pound &
was found to be "unadoptable" & had a death-date set for
Jan 8th due to age, believed to be 13, tooth decay from neglect
(possible beating) & skin condition.
On Jan 6th of 2012 I was
at the pound taking photos of adoptable dogs to put online & help
them find homes when I saw this little face! It was love at first
sight, but they wouldn't let me have him due to his status. I called
muttville and within 2 days, on the day he was to be put down, I was
taking him home as a foster mom.
After Jacks 1st night with me, I knew his home was
here.
Muttville was amazing in helping with the initial costs.
Jack had been beaten & given sub-standard food. Due to the stress
& poor nutrition, most of his body fur had fallen out.
The
vets said it probably wouldn't grow back, but I'm happy to say within
10 months, he was a fluffy pomerianian again & back to a healthy weight.
Jack now has a benign fatty tumor that is growing under his
front leg which is causing him some discomfort & it's also
aggrivating his trachea condition which makes him struggle to catch
his breath every time he gets excited.
He is an amazing boy, very sweet & well behaved. He deserves
to have some comfort after suffering for the 1st half of his
life.
Sadly, due to his condition, I couldn't get insurance for
him. I have been taking care of my father for 5 years and work only
part time. The expense for this surgery is extremely difficult for me
to afford & sadly, I didn't qualify for the credit. I'm hoping
with some animal lovers help, we can get Jack back to full
health.
Thanks so much for reading our story. We appreciate all
of you.
