Emaciated Dog Needs Help

Local resident is trying to save a sick dog found on Memorial Drive.

Please help if you can! I found this sweet pup on Memorial Drive Tuesday night, starving and very, very scared. My roommate named him Charles. I prefer Charliepants though he answers to buddy and lovie as well.

The good news is that he has been to the vet and is heartworm negative. The bad news is that he is 34lbs and based on his frame the vet said that he should be at least 60lbs. To help with the weight gain, he will need radical treatment with steroids as well as vitamins and other medications to treat his anemia from massive flea infestation.

I am fostering him at the moment but will be moving at the end of the month into a place with two other dogs (in addition to my own) and may not be able to continue past the July 26 move-out date.Β

Any little bit of money, even just a dollar, will really help this pooch. I am working with a non-profit hourly wage which only goes so far. Most importantly, I am looking for a foster situation for Charliepants so if you know of anyone or any organization, please call me at 404-272-3008.Β 

Thank you!
