Hope For Paws recently received a call about an animal in need of urgent care. The homeless dog was located near the Mexico border and it needed medical care.

When rescuers arrived at the scene, they spoke with the man who called them and learned that the homeless dog had taken a liking to the man’s dogs. Rescuers saw it was clear this pup needed a lot more than just food.

When rescuers coaxed Pax with food before slapping a leash around him, the sweet pup let them pick him up and put him in their car without resistance. He was relieved to be out of harm’s way after he patiently waited for his rescue.

 

They took him to the animal hospital, where he was treated for his skin, ear and eye infections, mange, and open wounds.

He was very cooperative, and allowed the doctors to treat him, as well as giving him a medicated bath to help heal his skin.

When Pax first got to Forgotten Dogs, he had wounds on his hind legs, but thankfully, he recovered with the help of The Forgotten Dogs Foundation.
