A shih tzu who arrived at the BC SPCA in Victoria in rough shape is being held up as a reason to donate to the non-profit organization.
Hogarth, a seven-year-old dog who will need amputation of a badly wizened right foreleg and major dental surgery to allow it to eat properly, is among the serious cases of neglect that the SPCA encounters as part of its regular operations.
B次元官网网址淗is leg was black and necrotic B次元官网网址� he couldnB次元官网网址檛 bear any weight on it and was in a lot of pain,B次元官网网址� BC SPCA Victoria Branch manager Annie Prittie Bell said in a release. B次元官网网址淒espite everything heB次元官网网址檚 been through, Hogarth is such a sweetheart! He bonds fast to people and just wants to be held and cuddled.B次元官网网址�
The medical costs related to the dogB次元官网网址檚 care and recovery are expected to be more than $5,000. A non-profit organization, the BC SPCA relies primarily on public donations to help the provinceB次元官网网址檚 most vulnerable animals, Prittie Bell said.
Anyone who would like to donate and help Hogarth or any other animals needing medical attention can find more details at spca.bc.ca/medicalemergency or stop by the shelter at 3150 Napier Lane.
