There are just no words. When we think we have seen the worst, humans never cease to disgust us yet again.
Meet Bruno. He's a 1 year old bully mix,
whose owner brought him to a local vet claiming he hasn't eaten in over a month.
Yes. One month. Yet the owner didn't bring him to a vet until tonight,
and can't even be bothered to pay for testing or treatment.
Bruno weighs in at a mere 20lbs.
After they let him suffer for over a month,
it's apparently no longer worth it to the owner to try to care for Bruno.
The doctors have no idea what is causing Bruno's severe weight loss, heart murmur, injuries & other issues.
They don't even know if Bruno is going to survive
But we are sure as hell going to try to help!
Bruno fight! Tonight, he will be hospitalized,
and we will begin testing so that we can begin his battle back from this horrible neglect.
We will do everything in our power to help Bruno.
Day 3: Bruno is more alert so far today, and the doctors say his heart murmur is improving.
He is still eating small amounts and seems to have a pretty good appetite.
Bruno is on antibiotics, fluids, and still being watched very closely to ensure that we have no more setbacks.
Everyone is cautiously optimistic, but he still has a very long road ahead of him in the healing process.
He will remain hospitalized at least throughout the weekend, if not longer.
Day 7: Bruno is strong enough to take a little walk to get a treat.
Day 23: Bruno is finally healthy enough to move on to the next step in his life.
Today, Bruno went to his foster home!
Day 28: Can you believe the difference a month of love makes!?
Day 43: He's still being treated for skin infections, but his feet are improving.
The best update is that the doctors think he will not need eye surgery!
Day 80: His skin is clearing up nicely, he is still gaining weight,
and in a few more weeks he will finally be ready to get neutered!
This little man has made SO much progress and we are so grateful to everyone,
We can't do it without you!
Day 120: Our boy is recovering well so far from his eyelid surgery and neuter.
He will go back to the ophthalmologist in two weeks for suture removal,
and at that point once he is cleared will be ready to move on to his forever family!
1 Year later: Bruno has lots to say about the News 12 story featuring his case!!
Since the moment we took over his care, we knew he was a special boy and we will not stop until justice is served!
One year ago today... After fighting for his life and many months of recovery...
Bruno found his forever home! Cristy and Carlos are his perfect match,
and they have spent the year making sure every single day is full of fun and adventure!
Bruno and his best buddy Winston are inseparable,
and we love watching them play and spend every minute together.
We couldn't possibly have imagined a more perfect home for Bruno.
Thank you Cristy & Carlos for giving Bruno his happily ever after. We love you guys!
Happy Birthday Bruno!! Bruno’s 3rd bday was filled with steak and eggs for breakfast,
Fun new toys, a hike with his boys Winston and Roodner, a steak dinner, followed by his 3rd birthday cake!
Then he got to play with his besties Ty and Luna ......
We are so thankful for Cristy, Carlos and family for loving him as much as,
we do and for giving him the very best home filled with so much love!
Thank you for your alway support!
