Help Miracle Dog “Air Buddy” with Medical bills!

Dear friends,

I am writing to you today with a heavy heart, as I have recently come across a little dog in Miami who has been through unimaginable suffering. This poor pup was seemingly abandoned by his owners (probably due to the increase in rent), and then seemingly abused or used as a bait dog to teach other dogs how to fight. As a result, he suffered bite marks, fractures, burns, BB gun wounds and other injuries.

This past Monday while running my errands I witnessed this little guy trying to cross an eight lane highway during rush hour traffic in Hialeah. He was visibly injured already and I knew that it was only a matter of time before he would be hit by a car and killed. Without hesitation, I stopped my car in the middle of the highway and rescued him.

After nursing him back to health for a few days, I found a man in Miami Shores who said he would give him a good home and the care he needed. Unfortunately, Buddy “escaped” from his new owner and was found by a 2nd man shortly after. That man relocated him to North Miami, and then re-released him back onto the streets ‍

When I heard that “Buddy” had escaped his adopter I spent 2 days frantically searching for him all over Miami shores and then North Miami (his last known locations) to no avail. That was because somehow Buddy miraculously tracked my scent for over 8 miles across 3 towns, on a dislocated shoulder, burned paws, and dislocated knees to a school where I volunteer at, but to which he’s never been to! That’s right, he found me! He is the smartest, most resilient, and most determined dog I’ve ever witnessed! Buddy is truly a miracle dog, and his determination to find his “safe person” is nothing short of amazing.

Unfortunately, after his journey back to me, Buddy's injuries are now worse than ever. He can barely walk. His bones, joints, and limbs are all injured, and he falls often. He may have nerve damage from a back injury and his elbows and knees are all dislocated. He’s covered in burns from the hot asphalt and can barely put his paws down. The vet says he needs X-rays and scans of his internal structures, but the cost is astronomical.

The shelters in Miami are full and unwilling to treat him, leaving him in a dire situation. But we cannot let this little guy suffer any longer.

We desperately need the community to come together for Buddy. This miracle pup deserves a chance at a pain-free, healthy, happy, and stable life. He is approx 3 yrs old, extremely shy but loves to wag his tail, gets extra excited when you bring out food, and is at visible peace being in a quiet and safe environment. He has not had one accident in the house and has not barked once. All he craves is a stable and safe and loving environment which luckily I can provide for him for now. I am willing to keep him as long as it takes for him to get better, but I will need assistance with his medical expenses.

Please help me give Buddy the life he deserves. Your donations will go directly to his vet bill, and every little bit helps. Together, we can make a difference and show him that there is still kindness and love in this world. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.

Sincerely,
