Animal Foundation Appeals for Help with Abused Dog Beau’s Intensive Recovery

The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas is seeking donations to support Beau, an abandoned dog recovering from emergency surgery after suffering severe abuse, according to News3LV.

An Animal Protection Services officer found Beau after he had been left alone for weeks in a vacant home.

The Animal Foundation reported that Beau was covered in scrapes and had severe necrotic wounds on his hind legs; some wounds were so deep that his bones were exposed.

The nonprofit said a rubber band had been tied around Beau’s testicles, leading to serious tissue damage and open, necrotic wounds on his scrotum.

Beau was so weak when discovered that he could not stand or walk, but still greeted the officer with a wagging tail and allowed gentle petting.

He was transported to The Animal Foundation for immediate medical intervention and underwent emergency surgery.

Beau is now recovering but will need ongoing medication, pain management, frequent wound care and bandage changes, and continuous veterinary monitoring and treatment.

The Animal Foundation has asked for donations to its CARE Fund to pay for the specialized medical care that Beau requires. Those wishing to donate can do so at this page.
