Rex is a 4 year old Mix-Breed in Burnsville, MN, who needs $1,000 for TVT treatment, wound healing, jaw surgery.

When Baw Baw Animal Welfare found him, Rex was lying on the street in excruciating pain after a terrible accident. His eye had protruded, his jaw and upper facial bones were fractured, and he was bleeding, unable to eat or drink. His cries of agony were heartbreaking. Alone and suffering, he had no one—until we reached him.

As if this wasn’t enough, Rex had also been battling TVT (Transmissible Venereal Tumor), a contagious cancer in dogs. Despite his painful condition, we rushed him into emergency surgical correction to stabilize him and begin his treatment.

Today, Rex is under intensive care for TVT and wound healing management. Once his wounds fully recover, our veterinary team will perform pin placement surgery for joint stabilization. Until then, he remains under close observation and supportive treatment, receiving the love and care he has been denied for so long.

Rex’s recovery will be long and costly—but his life is worth every effort. With your support, we can continue his treatments, manage his wounds, and ensure he receives the surgery that will allow him to live without pain.
