Emergency Veterinary Hospital Ann Arbor reached out to us in hopes we could help with this boy we have named Dixon. The finder of the dog reached out to them in regards to a dog that approached their back door with an embedded collar, which turned out to be MUCH worse than an embedded collar around the neck, the embedding went all the way around his neck and expanded down his chest and under his arm pit and back up to the neck. The finder of the dog had reached out to other rescue groups and vet clinics who were unable to help with assistance, until they contact our emergency hospital EVH, who in turn reached out to us.
He was found on Waltz Road in New Boston, the people who found him live along the Huron River, where he made it up to their door. Initially he was very shy and timid but warmed up to them quickly with food, then became very much attached as if he knew they were there to help him get the care he needed.
EVH scanned for microchipped there is a chip but it is not registered to an owner. We have had to back track the microchip since it was never registered after being implanted. The chip was purchased by Pinckney Animal Clinic who we are lucky enough keeps very good records of the chips they put into animals. They contacted the owner of the chip, who in turn states the animal was given to someone else, and that was arranged by their daughter. They were not told that their previously owned animal was injured, only that PFP had the dog. They were given my phone number in order to track down the new owners, however it seems they are not interested in contacting us in regards to giving us any further information. Therefore, PFP will be contacting the authorities in tracking down the true owner of Dixon. Any animal coming in looking like this and is in otherwise overall good condition in regards to weight makes us believe that the owner of Dixon must have know about his serious condition and never sought medical attention for his wounds. I hope I am wrong on this, but we will let the proper authorities do the investigation on this and tracking down who would allow this poor boy become in this condition.
For a wire to be embedded this deeply into a animal it would take months!!! He seems to be in overall good health which tells us he was not on the street for very long and it appears to be another cruelty case that we will have investigated.
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers and send positive energy. Any donation is truly appreciated to www.providingforpaws.org or his you caring at: [ Ссылка ]
