Meet Callan.

The two-year-old Belgian Malinois was found on the side of the road in Texas in extreme pain unable to move. He had been hit by a car and left to suffer.

He was found lying in a pool of his own blood before being rushed to a local emergency clinic. The poor pup was started on pain medication and the severe flesh wounds were carefully treated.

Shenandoah Shepherd Rescue, rescue based in Virginia who works with Texas shelters to save shepherd dogs from high-kill shelters, answered the plea for help placed by Palm Valley Animal Control.

Callan has a long road of recovery ahead but is expected to recover. To heal, he will need daily wound cleaning and pain management, antibiotics, patient stability monitoring, and laser therapy.

Will you help him get the care he needs?

The rescue reached out to Greater Good Charities' Emergency Animal Medical fund for help with his accumulating medical bills. The fund was created to help dogs like Callan get the care they need and a second chance at finding a loving home.

Pets receiving critical care facilitated by an Emergency Animal Medical grant may not be eligible for adoption until they have completed their course of treatment. If you would like to inquire about adoption of a specific animal, we strongly encourage you to visit the shelter’s specific website first as that is often the most up to date place to learn about available pets and review the adoption policies and process. Check out the shelter’s website to see all adoptable pets.

He continues to improve each day and with your support will be ready to find a forever home in the near future. Help us meet our goal of $9,000 for Callan. Your gift will not only give him the hope to keep fighting, but your donations will help cover his ongoing care.
