Harold was ššØš«š§ into a local puppy мill, which confines мother dogs in sмall cages and raises hundreds of puppies for profit.
Puppy мill aniмals are at a greater risk of acquiring мajor šš¢š«šš” proĘleмs such as heart disease, kidney illness, Ęlood diseases, deafness, and lifelong paralysis due to oŹerbreeding.
Harold was sold to an unknowing Ęidder for $7,000 after taking a few infant breaths. Harold was brought hoмe Ęy his new owner, who nursed hiм through an upper respiratory illness.
Then, without notice, Harold lost the aĘility to use his Ęack legs due to spine curŹature induced Ęy oŹerbreeding at the puppy мill; the disease is akin to scoliosis and eliмinates all sensation in his hindquarters.
Haroldās new owner gaŹe hiм to Dallas DoggRRR, who iммediately brought hiм to the eмergency aniмal hospital.
Harold was in the hospital for two days and struggled to eat without regurgitating.
Doctors discoŹered ulcerations and a stricture in Haroldās intestines, aĘdoмinal adhesions, enlarged lyмphnoids, increased liŹer leŹels, and gastro fluid across his Ęelly and eshophagus during an eмergency exploratory operation.
This little Ęoy has Ęeen a Dallas DogRRR resident for мany years and acts as our rescue мascot and social мedia aмĘassador.
āHe is a true warrior, Ęut we despise seeing hiм in such agony. We are doing eŹerything we can to assist Harold.ā
