Sullivan

Sullivan’s story is one of unimaginable hardship and resilience. He and his brother Gilbert were spotted by a member of the community, who sent us a photo and their location. What we found was heartbreaking; two skeletal dogs, riddled with ticks, barely clinging to life.

They were hesitant at first, but hunger overcame fear, and they allowed us to help. The cleanup was painstaking, taking hours to remove the countless ticks. We weren’t sure they’d survive. After a night of food and comfort, they were hospitalized at the vet clinic. Sullivan, in worse shape than Gilbert, needed a blood transfusion to pull through. Amazingly both dogs tested negative for tick fever.

Miraculously, both boys recovered and moved into a loving foster home. Gilbert has since been adopted and is thriving in his forever family. But Sullivan is still waiting for his happy ending.
