💔 HE DIDN’T DESERVE THIS. 💔

Today, a dog is alive because someone cared enough to call 911.

He was found in Johnstown’s Moxham neighborhood suffering from a gunshot wound to the face. While most of us were going about our evening, he was terrified, injured, and in unimaginable pain.

What makes this even harder to understand is that this was not an aggressive dog.

He was not attacking anyone.

He was not threatening anyone.

He wasn’t hurting anyone.

He was simply a dog.

A dog who felt pain. A dog who depended on people. A dog who ended up with a bullet in his face and was left to suffer.

Thankfully, he was found before it was too late.

He is currently recovering at a local veterinary clinic after undergoing emergency surgery. Helping Hearts & Healing Tails has accepted responsibility for him and will be taking him into our rescue once he is discharged.

We know many of you want to see photos and follow his progress. Unfortunately, because there is an active criminal investigation, we are unable to share pictures or additional details at this time. As soon as we receive photos from the veterinary team and are permitted to release them, we will provide an update.

What we can tell you is that he is fighting.

And we’re going to fight right alongside him.

The reality is that emergency veterinary care is expensive. Surgery, hospitalization, medications, diagnostics, and follow-up treatment add up quickly. We didn’t have a fundraiser planned for a dog who had been shot. We didn’t budget for this. But when an animal is suffering, saying “no” isn’t an option.

So we said yes.

Now we’re asking our community to help us keep that promise.

Every donation goes directly toward giving this dog the care he needs and the future he deserves. If you are unable to donate, please share this post. One share could put this in front of the person who can help.

Tonight, he is safe.

He is warm.

He has pain medication, a comfortable place to rest, and people who are fighting for him.

But none of that changes what happened.

Someone looked at this dog and pulled the trigger.

We cannot undo that.

What we can do is make sure that the rest of his story is filled with compassion instead of cruelty.

Please help us show him that there are far more good people in this world than bad ones.
