This gentle giant did not deserve the abuse he endured. Please show him he is loved!

Welcome Big Boy to Camo Rescue! The President of CAMO Rescue said this is the kind of stuff that keeps her awake at night. This dog came close to being euthanized because nobody else stepped up for him. Even though CAMO is beyond capacity, they quickly intervened. She couldn’t stand the thought of him having led such a terrible life only to be euthanized.

He was reluctant to get up, hypersalivating, not eating, and showing labored breathing. His chest radiographs were taken and reviewed by the DVM, confirming that he needed to leave immediately.

He is now at the ER being treated for a Upper Respiratory Infection with a fever of 105! He arrived covered in up to 10–12 inches of matted hair caked with urine and feces. He required a 150-minute procedure under general anesthesia with three staff members working continuously to shave him down to the skin with surgical-grade blades.

He suffered from severe skin breakdown, white discoloration, and scarring around his neck from months to years of continuous tension, ulceration, and exposure to waste. His tail skin was raw, bleeding, and irritated, and both ears were heavily infected. His nails were long, curled, and nearly piercing his paw pads. The DVM noted this was the absolute worst case of hair matting they had ever seen.

The staff at the vets office said he is so sweet.

CAMO Rescue promises to their best by him, and they urgenly need your help to care for this sweet boy who did not deserve the abuse he endured. He is now safe and receiving the proper medical treatment, but it is coming at a cost. If you are able to give, even a small amount, it would make a huge difference. Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
