Pepper and Joe's Road To Recovery
Donation protected
Joe is a year and half old Boxer who, along with his cohort Pepper the three year old terrier, showed up on a friend’s doorstep on Monday. After some sleuthing, our friend found out that Joe and Pepper were given up because their owner had fallen on hard times and then the person he gave them to was arrested and thrown in jail which means Joe and Pepper have fallen on hard times.
As far as we know, they’ve been on their own in the cold Tennessee winter for a little more than two weeks. That includes the 9.5 inches of snow we got last week with the 14-degree temps.
Both of them have infections and, as of today, are on antibiotics. Both of them are underweight. As you can see, Joe, the Boxer, is so emaciated his ribs and hips stick out. He needs about twenty more pounds on him to be at healthy weight. Pepper, the Terrier Mix could use another five or so to get to her healthy weight. And both of them will need to be fixed once they are healthy.
Joe and Pepper are the sweetest dogs we’ve ever met. They are friendly and gentle and so in need of love. We are committed to fostering them until they find a forever home but they were a surprise expense for this month. The first Vet bill for them both came to $460.25 and fixing them, food etc will likely be in excess of $400. If you are able to help us with the medical bills, please do. And if you have any interest in taking these two into your family, please let us know.
Thank you for what ever you can give :)
