Sweet Marlin Needs Your Help to Heal

Hi! This sweet boy needs your help.

Marlin (previously Big Buddy) was found running on the highway in South GA. When he was picked up, he was covered in mud and scrounging for any food he could find.

He was taken to the vet, original owners were found, and Marlin has been surrendered. They believe he's about a year and a half old.

He currently has quite a few bald spots from poor nutrition and care, but his most pressing concern is his ears. Unfortunately, due to chronic, untreated ear infections, both of his ear canals are swollen shut. The vet told us that he needs a referral to a surgery center in order to take out the swollen parts. If not taken care of, tumors can form and cancer can spread.

Marlin is the sweetest boy and before we rehome him, we're wanting to make sure to get him the surgery he needs. The vet estimated the surgery to be around $4,000 ($2,000 for each ear). Any amount donated is extremely appreciated and will go towards his care. I will make sure to update this page as the surgeries are scheduled and how he is doing!

Marlin says THANK YOU!
