Adopt/Rescue - NODAS MED - Needs Placement by 10/27 11am CST Surgery assistance provided with rescue/foster/adoption tag. Apple A1302260 1 years old Intact Male 36 pounds Heartworm negative Stray found on COMAL ST, DALLAS TX 75203 Available on 10/27 Adopets Link: https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/25836304-0faa-4073-8852-e9c40e9e1c24 Apple is a dog urgently in need of a rescue, foster, or adopter who can provide continued medical care and support. Apple has sustained a degloving injury to the tail, resulting in significant skin and tissue damage. This type of injury is painful and carries a high risk of infection and complications due to exposed underlying tissue. Apple will require continued wound care, pain management, and veterinary monitoring, with the possibility of tail amputation depending on the severity of the injury and ability of the tissue to heal. This level of medical care and potential surgical intervention exceeds what we can consistently provide in the shelter environment. Apple is at risk for euthanasia due to the severity of the tail injury and need for continued medical care and possible surgical intervention beyond what we can provide in the shelter. If you are interested in helping Apple, please email dasadopt@dallas.gov with your contact information so we can call you back.
