The severely burned Labrador Retriever who was brought in to BARC, the City of Houston, Texas, Animal Shelter on Wednesday, has been turned over to a rescue organization.
The dog is now known as "Pier," and he is under the care of Scout's Honor Rescue, Inc., who is in the process of making arrangements to get him to a specialized veterinarian.
Wednesday night, the rescue posted the following about Pier:
Our vets say that his burns are intentional, repeated, and done with scalding water or oil.
He is resting comfortably right now at our ER vet on some heavy duty pain meds, but needs to get to the Texas A&M Small Animal Hospital in the morning so he can get the specialized treatment that he needs.
He will no doubt have a long road to recovery, so we want him to be at A&M.
The rescue is looking for assistance with transportation Thursday morning to Texas A&M Small Animal Hospital. Anyone who can assist is asked to email: Leslie at lesliehillendahl@yahoo.com
The rescue organization is committed to helping Pier recover from these horrific wounds. Please follow their rescue efforts at this link to Facebook.
Donations for Pier's care can be made via this link to the rescue.
