I am beyond angry about this,
this dog has been left without treatment... can anyone in the area check on him and maybe help.
If any of us left an animal in our care in this condition we would be arrested.

Can someone help or does anyone have any contacts in the area? The dog is still there as of tonight. They do not have vet help.

The latest info is he is still there, he has still not seen a vet and now after surviving all this they will euth him if he is not pulled.
I have had offers of donations for his treatment, but we don't even know what we are dealing with.
We have no where for him to go CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE
Here is the latest email...

He's still at the shelter. I'm on the phone with the shelter staff now (all the computer stuff is done by volunteers like me because the shelter doesn't have a computer). They said they think he has a broken leg but is VERY sweet and gets along fine with other dogs. They really love him and are desperate to get him help but he's running out of time and it seems cruel to leave him there without treatment. We're also working on finding someone willing to drive him several hours to the nearest decent clinic if we can get donations for care. Several people have offered but the big problem has been getting him there and then, of course, the other big problem is having a rescue who will take him.
He's a sweet guy though, not big, fairly young, and he has one blue eye.
Hope some of that helps! Thank you so much for working on him!

It's a bit past the TN line.  I was going to adopt a GSD from there but he ended up being put to sleep,(long, sad story).

Thought you should know that Oliver was sadly put down this morning. The lady that pulled him took him to the vet and the vet said he'd need 2 major surgeries. One for his front leg where it was broken in 2 places, it would have to be rebroken and set since it was like that all week and was starting to heal. The second on his back hip which was starting to deteriorate due to I believe it was a birth defect? Anyways The vet said not only would it take about $5000 to do it but he most likely wouldn't have any quality of life after the surgeries. I agreed with her that the best option was to have him put down. The woman did give him a wonderful night and morning. So he at least didn't have to go in the shelter. RIP Dear Oliver
