Please help Poe recover from a severe ear infection

Poe’s story is a little hazy, but one thing is crystal clear, this sweet boy has been through far too much. He was surrendered to FBRN by his owner because they could no longer afford the care he desperately needed for his ears.

When Poe arrived, their hearts sank. His ears are so severely infected and scarred that you can’t even see into the ear canals; they’re thickened like cauliflower, with a terrible odor that tells them just how long he’s been in pain. Poe guards his face, as his ears are incredibly painful.

He is also very underweight, likely from not receiving the balanced nutrition his little body needs. Despite it all, he’s gentle and trusting, already showing glimmers of the loving, grateful soul underneath the pain. He came to this rescue needing a lot of help and care, but now he has a safe place to heal in his loving foster home,

a full belly, and will receive the medical attention to get him feeling like a healthy Frenchie again, but they can't do this alone. His medical bills are stacking up. Will you please be a part of Poe's healing journey?

Update 10/28/25
Poe recently saw the dermatologist, resulting in an $800 bill—his ear canals are completely closed off despite weeks of prednisone and antibiotics. The estimate for a laser ablation to address the chronic inflammation and infection is $5-$7k. FBRN can't do this without you. Thank you for your continued support!

Thank you to everyone who has supported Poe on his healing journey. Thanks to you, he's received the best medical attention, love, and care. FBRN is awaiting an additional procedure for his ear, and after that, he will be ready for adoption!
