Cain's Comeback: Help Him Heal From Gunshot Wound

Cain wandered onto somebody's property in Henderson, Texas with a very large swollen face. Given he had been roaming the woods for who knows how long, they assumed his face swelling was due to a snake bite, an attack from another animal, or an infection. Sadly, this was not the case.

Cain was taken in by Saving Hope Rescue and taken to the vet where he received a comprehensive evaluation. X-rays revealed that Cain had a bullet lodged in his face. Somebody had shot this gentle soul in his head, meaning Cain was a mere few inches from death. This revelation was a heartbreaking moment for all his caretakers, as they had fallen hard for this sweet boy.

Thankfully, Cain is now safe and will never again face unfathomable cruelty like he has. He is currently in boarding at the vet, where they are carefully monitoring his progress. He has surgery scheduled to remove the bullet. Once the surgery is complete, he will go to a foster home filled with love to recover.

Cain has suffered through a heartbreaking story, but we now have a chance to help him put these traumas behind him once and for all. He, like all dogs, deserves a life of happiness. Please consider donating to help Saving Hope Rescue get Cain the care he needs to recover.

Cain survived surgery today! He is doing excellent. He had a hard time waking up post-op, and he was super confused and panicked. He was given a calming injection and his caretakers sat with him to let him know he was safe and ok. It was heartbreaking to see traces of what is assumed to be some sort of PTSD. Once he calmed down, he has been doing great ever since. Thank you too all his supporters!

Cain took the next big step in his journey and went to a foster home. We are hoping it will be his FurEver home!! Saving Hope Rescue couldn’t have saved his life, without all the amazing people who donated for him- they are eternally thankful!
