Miami, FL – An animal rescue group in Florida is doing its utmost to save the life of a four-week-old puppy who was abandoned in Miami. According to Mutty Paws Rescue, the pup has severe burns over much of his body.
On Friday, the animal welfare organization said:
This little 3 lb boy was found in Miami by warehouses and brought to MDAS as #a2340462 HE IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION & we are fighting for his life. He is 4 weeks old and his 4 weeks of life have been hell!
Describing with dismay, the pup’s critical condition:
His breathing is labored, his skin is sloughing off of him. SOMEONE TORTURED HIM. How anyone could do this to any animal, let alone a 3 lb baby is incomprehensible.
The puppy, dubbed Dade, received a blood transfusion and has survived with round-the-clock care. The most recent update from the rescue group states:
Dade update: he has survived another night after receiving an emergency blood transfusion late yesterday afternoon. His PCV went up to 27% from 13% following the transfusion and that will be repeated again shortly to make sure it’s holding. He is still considered critical condition and is not out of the woods by a long shot. He is still eating and drinking and receiving wound care multiple times a day as well as pain management. Yesterday’s emergency transfusion cost was an additional $1076.35
