Sometimes Friday night looks like cuddling your foster pup on the floor after he’s had 13 teeth pulled 😢

This is Diesel. Diesel has been with me since February. Diesel belongs to a man that ended up unhoused and had been living out of his car. I had been helping him with supplies and vet care for Diesel when his car broke down and he asked me to take Diesel while he tried to get back on his feet. He and Diesel have an unbreakable bond and Diesel is very much loved. I agreed and here we are, 8 months later. His owner still calls everyday to check in, visits when he can and is working to get himself and Diesel into an apartment. In preparation for going home, it was decided to have Diesel’s teeth cleaned to prevent dental issues in the future. From the outside it was supposed to be simple. Mild tarter and a possible fracture on one tooth. Well friends, this was anything but a simple cleaning. Once they got a good look inside and at xrays, it was discovered that Diesel had trauma to a couple teeth, some infection and significant bone loss under the gumline. He had to have 13 teeth extracted today. As you in can imagine, the cost for this was much more than expected. We usually don’t post about the dogs we help like Diesel. The ones that we are just helping out or supporting in a time that their owners can’t provide for them. Rescue isn’t always about finding homes for shelter dogs. Sometimes it’s about supporting owners in their time of need so that they can keep their family member at home where they belong. Diesel is an amazing dog who loves everybody he meets. He has the best smile I’ve ever seen on a dog (though it will have a few less teeth) and he is always happy! We hope you will consider donating to help us out with the payment of Diesel’s dental surgery. Copy of invoice and more pics will be posted in the comments.
