Rescuers Saved This Dog From Pure Neglect in the Middle of the Night, Now They’re Fighting to Save Him From His Illnesses

Leashes of Love Rescue has a story about a special little boy who has had quite the rescue! Let us introduce you to the beautiful Nooney.

Nooney is a Chi-mix who was clearly left to suffer for a very long time. Rescuers from Leashes of Love set out to save this little one in the middle of the night – or as they say, into the “wee hours of the morning.” He is currently being cared for by the Yorba Lake Pet Clinic, where they have found Nooney to have so many problems!

Nooney came in with an ulcerated testicular tumor, and it is infected in just about every way, in every place you can imagine. Look at all those patches of itchy, red skin!

Nooney has a heart murmur, demodex mange, and his claws are overgrown. How could anyone let him get like this?

This poor little boy has been through so much already, and when the vets operated to remove his huge tumor, they found two others that they are concerned about. But the good news is that if these tumors prove cancerous, they haven’t metastasized in any other part of poor Nooney’s body.

Nooney is currently recovering from his surgery while the tumors are biopsied, and he is receiving medical care for his painfully sore skin, along with a lot of attention and love.

Here he is looking sleepy after that surgery. Get well soon, Nooney! There is a loving family out there waiting to take you home!

We can’t know for sure how long poor Nooney has been left like this, but these conditions take time to develop. What has happened to Nooney and so many dogs across the country is pure neglect. There is absolutely no excuse for allowing an animal to get into this state. This is why it is so important that we become a nation of dog adopters rather than buyers. These poor, neglected animals need to find love in our homes.

Leashes of Love Rescue is dedicated to rescuing, fostering, and arranging the adoption of dogs like Nooney who deserve a second chance in life. If you are in a position to Donate to help them continue their vital work, or would like to know more, please get in touch.
