Oreo: Hit and left with two broken legs in FL Everglades Area

Oreo was hit by a nursery truck in Homestead (FL Everglades area). Days later, he remained on the side of the road, with two shattered legs and covered in red ants. He remained there while people passed right by him time and time again. 

When Cold Noses got word of his suffering, we asked Pet Orphans Miami (Our trusted Boots-on-the-ground in FL) to please rescue him. They quickly located him, and bathed the red, stinging ants off of him and took him to Town and Country Vet Hospital where he remains under the capable hands of surgeon Dr. Fernand. 

He had suffered for days with multiple fractures. He has two badly broken legs. His surgeries will be costly and not without risk of infection due to hardware placement. But Oreo has shown us he WANTS TO LIVE. He wags his tail in his kennel, despite his severe pain he must be in. 

Oreos story is, unfortunately, a common one in this area of Florida where the Everglades meets civilization. So many dogs and other animals continue to face these harsh conditions and unkind humans daily. Shelters are all over capacity. Change has to come. But until we can make this change happen, we will help as many animals as we can. 

We cannot do this alone. We need your help. You can donate to his campaign today. 100% of your donation goes to Oreo's fund.
