Donnie Is Fighting to Survive After a Horrific Injury

Donnie has already endured more suffering than any dog should ever have to face. When he arrived at the shelter, rescuers were shocked by the severity of his injuries. Donnie was found with a devastating wound to his genital area. His penis was severely swollen, deeply lacerated, and showing signs of tissue death. Veterinarians believe the injury may have been caused by something being tightly wrapped around the area, cutting off circulation and causing extensive damage.

The pain Donnie must have experienced is unimaginable. While the exact circumstances remain unknown, what is certain is that Donnie is now in urgent need of lifesaving medical care. Veterinary specialists have determined that Donnie will likely require an emergency perineal urethrostomy (PU) surgery to survive. During this complex procedure, surgeons will remove the necrotic tissue and create a new pathway that will allow him to urinate normally. Without immediate treatment, Donnie faces the risk of severe infection, ongoing pain, and potentially life-threatening complications. Despite everything he has endured, Donnie is still fighting.

NYC Second Chance Rescue has rushed him to an emergency hospital where he is receiving critical care and being evaluated for surgery. His medical team is doing everything possible to relieve his suffering and give him the chance at the healthy future he deserves.

The cost of emergency hospitalization, surgery, medications, diagnostics, and post-operative care is significant, but turning away is not an option. Donnie deserves the opportunity to heal and to experience the kindness and compassion that every animal should know.
