He had languished for years as puppies got adopted. He wants to die with dignity and not on a concrete floor in a loud city shelter. So he asks for help.
Dogs need to age gracefully. Sadly, there are many senior dogs with significant health problems languishing in shelters. Potential adopters tend to travel for puppies and younger dogs while seniors are overlooked. It’s heartbreaking to find out a senior dog suffering while alone during a city shelter.
For one senior dog, he had given up completely. He had watched as potential adopters passed him by for years. He resided to the fact that he’d spend the rest of his days during a loud, overcrowded shelter without a home to call the. But at some point, fate intervened. A woman named Emma from Oregon got a call about the senior, and arrangements were made to free him from the shelter.
Earle, Emma has earned a reputation for this respectable senior dog. Once Earl arrives in Oregon and meets his foster mom, she will see he’s worse off than she thought. She tries to urge him to eat but he has no appetite. This is often so concerning! Especially when Emma had to resort to syringe feeding. But thankfully, Earl gets stronger and is in a position to eat a touch while lying down.
But next, Earl’s breathing becomes labored, and his stomach begins to bloat. He must be rushed to the vet, immediately! That’s when Emma receives the worst news imaginable: Earl is in coronary failure and it had been time to organize to mention bye-bye. The next 24 hours were crucial, but it didn’t look good. The vet explained that if Earl survived the night, there was hope! And guess what… he did!
The next morning, Emma comes right down to see Earl and he’s wagging his tail like hell . She’s elated! It had been sort of switch went off. Within a couple of hours, Earl was up and about, giving paw and prepared to play. This was miraculous.
The vet still said that Earl likely had a few months to measure but it’s been 7 months and Earl remains going strong. The thing that matters most is that Earl will leave this earth knowing he’s loved. To see Earl’s story, scroll down. Let’s provide a huge shout bent The Dodo for creating such an awesome video.
