Bio:
Doj is a brave and gentle puppy who recently arrived at the shelter in urgent need of help. He came in with a cracked rib (#6), a pulmonary contusion on the right side, and multiple bite wounds on his front legs and neck. Despite his painful injuries, Doj has shown a sweet, trusting nature and a strong will to heal.
Because his medical needs are more than the shelter can provide, Doj is currently at risk for euthanasia. He needs a committed rescue, foster, or adopter who can give him the medical care and safe environment he deserves.
If you are interested in helping Doj, please email us with your contact information so we can call you back.
