This is Atlas. He's a stray we found and he's about 7 to 8 months old. As you can see, he's had a rough start to life. He's been attacked by another animal, likely another stray dog, and has a serious throat wound and multiple puncture wounds on his face and neck.

When we found him we could tell the wound was a few days old because it was oozing and smelled rancid, so we picked him up and took him to the emergency hospital right away.

We could only have the emergency hospital stabilize him because the estimate to do anything else was $4000 to $7000. We paid them $1700 and will be taking him to Citrus Animal Clinic first thing Monday morning to get him looked at.

His medical bills are already significant and we know there will be more expenses when we take him to Citrus Animal Clinic to continue his care. He'll need ongoing care, including bandage changes, laser therapy, wound cleaning, and medications to help him heal and recover.

We are asking for help in any amount. No amount is too small, and every donation will go directly toward his medical care and recovery. Please consider donating and if that's not possible, please consider sharing this fundraiser so we can give Atlas the care he needs and deserves.

Thank you so much.
