The following post includes details and images of Eden’s injuries, which some may find graphic.

This is Eden. Eden came to us as a stray dog with severe injuries on her back (see in comments). The origins of these injuries are unknown, and it wasn’t until her hair had been shaved that we realized the full extent of the damage. Despite her condition, Eden's sweet and gentle nature shines through. She’s been a trooper at the shelter, winning the hearts of everyone she meets. However, her recovery is long and requires intensive treatment, and we need your support.

We need donations to support Eden’s treatment and the ongoing work at our shelter. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant impact on Eden's recovery and help us continue to care for other animals in need.

We are also seeking a foster home where Eden can heal in a safe and loving environment. Fostering Eden means tending to her wounds and providing her with the care and affection she deserves.

If you're interested in fostering Eden during her recovery or wish to donate, please contact us or visit the link below. Thank you for your support! https://www.prairiepaws.org/donate
