Volunteers of Muskegon County Animal Control (dba Pound Buddies)

Here is Trooper's story: 

Monday, March 22nd a good samaritan found an injured dog on his walking route. After efforts from both Newaygo and Muskegon County Animal Control, we were able to quickly get him in for a vet exam. From there it was accessed that Trooper had two fractured front legs and x-rays were scheduled immediately. 

From our understanding and professional reviews, these injuries were caused by direct blunt force trauma. Trooper did not have any other injuries, no sign of being hit by a car, no open wounds, only two severely broken legs. You'd hate to think anyone could do this to an animal but this appears to be senseless and intentional. 

Rescue partners, Newaygo and Muskegon County Animal Control, and the incredible vets from Ottawa County, are heartbroken.  No one wanted to give up on this little guy and so we are coming together. 

Please help by donating to the extensive surgery Trooper has to undergo. If you know anyone who may be involved in this situation, please notify Newaygo County Animal Control. Trooper will be recovering in a foster home through Pound Buddies at this time.

This little dog, who we've now named Olive, was found in a snow bank this morning literally on the verge of death! She is skin and bones, blood sugars were only 29, her body temp so low it didn't even register on the thermometer! Pound Buddies immediately started warming her while we contacted one of our vets, Clarke Animal Hospital. After IV fluids, blood work, bringing her body temp up and getting food in her, this resilient little girl is stable and actually standing up on her own.

Our little Olive is now out of the hospital and in her new foster home. She is quite the fighter and we are optimistic that she will continue to make progress. She is on a special feeding schedule. She is enjoying a warm home and lots of TLC. She may need follow up blood work in the next few weeks but if all goes well, she will be available for adoption next month. 

This fundraiser is to help cover her medical/vet bills currently.
