Several of you may recognize this baby from a recent post by the Humane Society of Louisiana about an adorable wire terrier mix with an 8-inch gash across his back that exposed his the flesh and tissue.
“Sarge” wandered up in this horrible condition to a Marksville residence in Avoyelles Parish. The homeowner, Gayle Gros, (who also lovingly transported the puppy to Rescue Rehome Repeat of South Louisiana ) heard him crying out in pain and went outside to investigate . Unable to afford his emergency care, Gayle and her family contacted the Humane Society of Louisiana.
They agreed to help, and (Dr. Krystal Dupre of the Veterinary Clinics of Avoyelles) agreed to stay late to clean and close the puppy's wound.
Rescue Rehome Repeat Volunteer, Rhonda Dicapo St Martin immediately reached out to Rescue Rehome Repeat medical staff asking to Foster and take on this adorable puppy until his forever home could be found.
We have been in constant contact with Mr. Jeff Dorson from the Humane Society and finally received Sarge at our adoption facility yesterday afternoon - to say he is one of the most energetic, friendly, and “adorable puppies” we have ever seen would be an understatement.
Such horrific findings in the state of Louisiana are becoming more and more common… We are proud to have worked alongside the Humane Society of Louisiana to provide continued care for this sweet baby.
*Donations for Sarge will go into our general medical fund - allowing Rescue Rehome Repeat of South Louisiana to continue to care and adopt out animals like Sarge. We would also like to mention and thank Lt. Jeannine Cruz of the Hammond Police Department who contributed and covered all of Sarge’s emergency medical care when he was under the care of the Humane Society of Louisiana.
