Elliot is a 10-month-old Mixed Breed Puppy in Huntington, WV, who needs $2,000 for Gunshot to the Head-Surgery to Reconstruct Shattered Jaw.

This is how Elliott was found, abandoned on the side of a road in rural KY. A person tried to brutally kill him and left him to die.

Initially, it was assumed he had been hit by a car. Animal control came to the scene and alerted us at One by One Animal Advocated as soon as they noticed a bullet wound - he had been shot. And, not only shot accidentally, the vet said it was execution style.

The bullet entered at close range in the top of Elliott’s head, travelled through his jaw, and exited out his neck. He suffered extensive bruising of his eye, vision loss, and a section of his jaw was left with shattered bone fragments.

Elliot has now undergone two emergency surgeries to remove these fragments, to clean out severe infection, and close the hole in his jaw. It doesn't stop there.

His third surgery is scheduled where synthetic bone will be used to try to reconstruct his jaw. The synthetic bone is expensive, but the hands-on, loving care is priceless.

Unfathomable. Heartbreaking. Angry. A few of the words to describe how we felt about Elliott’s situation. Our heart breaks when an animal is mistreated … not enough food, left out in the cold, or lack of basic care.

We truly cannot understand how anyone could walk up to an innocent 10-month old pup, hold a gun to his head, and pull the trigger.

Once again we ask if you will come together for an innocent dog who has already overcome so much, and help us right the wrongs he has suffered so he can enjoy a normal loving life.

Elliott is a miracle boy and has had many guardian angels help him get to where he is today. Can you help us raise the money for this costly, but beneficial, synthetic bone?
