FUREVER HOME FRIDAYš š¶
A note from Tapperās caretakers:
Tapper is in search of a FOSTER home before he will be able to be adopted
This is Tapper, he's estimated to be around 5 years old. He was found severely emaciated, covered in dog bite wounds, and unable to stand or walk. He has received a blood transfusion and is currently on a feeding plan to help him safely gain weight. Tapper also has a severely wounded joint, believed to have been caused by a dog bite. We suspect the joint is septic, and he will be undergoing an amputation as a result.
Despite all of this, Tapper is very friendly, loves attention from people, and has been very friendly to other dogs
He doesn't have a public profile at the moment since he is available for foster only. We want him to recover and be cleared medically before he is able to be adopted. We would love for him to get into a foster home to have a quieter place to recover.
Tapper is with Gateway Pet Guardians
