🐻✨ Bear’s Update ✨🐻
The decision to take Bear’s leg did not come easy, but we can say with full confidence that it was the right choice. His injury was incredibly painful, and honestly, the healing from amputation will be quicker, safer, and far less painful than trying to repair what was there.
He’s already proving how tough he is — Bear is doing very well. ❤️🩹
We know that losing a leg may limit his future adopter pool, and that’s a hard reality for us. But we have to move forward on faith and do what is right for him. With your help, we believe we can find the perfect forever family who will love him exactly as he is.
You can see in the photos just how thin he is. No 2.5-year-old male should look this way, but living with two tick-borne diseases and heartworms has taken a heavy toll on his body. He’s finally safe, treated, and loved — and now he needs time to heal.
Although we are primarily a cat rescue, the number of dogs needing help has grown in recent years. And when we find a dog injured on the side of the road, we simply cannot leave them there. It’s not who we are.
We are still short on his medical bill, and any help — truly any amount — means the world.
Bear deserves this chance.

From Bear, and from all of us — thank you for caring. ❤️🙏
