Gino is a 6-month-old Mixed Breed Dog in Huntington, WV, who needs $2,000 for Emergency Care for Multiple Fractures and Head Trauma.

Gino is only six months old, 37 pounds, and his life could have tragically ended discarded on the side of the road.
The poor pup was struck by a careless driver going at breakneck speeds. The driver got out, checked her car for damage, abandoned Gino on the side of the road and fled. Fortunately, another driver found Gino lying there broken and bleeding, but for unknown reasons, removed his collar before leaving him to die and sped off too.

Witnesses nearby saw the young pup shivering and motionless as blood streamed out of his nose. They assumed he had already passed away - little did they know that despite his severe fractures, Gino still clung to life.

Thankfully a Good Samaritan rushed him to the vet and called One by One Animal Advocates.

X-Rays revealed multiple fractures - 2 femoral head growth plate fractures, a left pubic fracture, right sacroiliac subluxation, and right distal ulnar fracture. He also had head trauma that had caused brain swelling - a severe and potentially fatal condition.
Treatment began immediately; Gino received medication to reduce swelling of his brain and anti-seizure and anti-nausea medicines for symptomatic relief. Despite this lifesaving care, he suffered two seizures.

"This is alarming and scary, but not unexpected given the high impact." Heather says, "We continued our critical observation of him, giving pain meds when needed, but knowing full well we may not be able to save his life."
