🚨 Urgent Rescue Alert: Popeye’s Fight for Survival🚨 While en route to the shelter our day took an unexpected and upsetting turn when we spotted a weathered doghouse tucked behind a building, almost hidden from view. Outside next to it, curled into a tiny ball and barely moving, was Popeye—a dog whose plight would soon capture our hearts. As we approached, the sight was grim: flies swarmed around moldy food, and Popeye, looking frail and defeated, struggled in the harsh elements of a recent storm and current heat. A older man emerged, initially mistaking our intentions, but after explaining that we were from the dog rescue. He allowed us to administered immediate vaccines and preventative care, provide Popeye with a proper tie-out and clean food and water bowls. We let them know we were available to help and told the family to keep us updated if they needed anything else. Days passed with no word, and our concern deepened. Persistent attempts to check on her condition finally revealed a dire situation—The owner then explained that Popeye hasn’t ate in 5 days and might have ingested rat poison, which had caused her severe distress and a painfully swollen belly. Her condition had worsened, and her life hung in the balance and we began surrender negotiations to ensure her family that she would received the necessary lifesaving medical attention. We rushed her to our vet for treatment. The diagnosis is acute kidney failure from poison. Now, Popeye is on IV fluids, battling each moment to survive, with a 50/50 chance of pulling through.
