Not only did he have to endure the excruciating pain of being stung by countless bees, but his own family heartlessly left him at a shelter following the dreadful ordeal. Known as Stinger by his rescuers, this courageous deaf Pit Bull arrived at the shelter adorned with severe blisters that posed a grave danger to his well-being.
Due to the severe state of the dog’s condition, it was not possible for them to provide any medical treatment and the decision to euthanize him was considered. However, Carri Shipaila, the compassionate individual behind LuvnPupz rescue in Greater Grand Rapids, MI, intervened. Learning about Stinger’s plight, she immediately took action, driving for almost an hour to personally pick him up from the shelter.
Sadly, his relatives turned down the offer to care for him, prompting her to take immediate action to rescue Stinger. She diligently tended to his stings, as well as a subsequent skin infection and sarcoptic mange.
Tragically, it was discovered that he not only suffered from Pemphigus, an autoimmune disease, but he would also have to endure its effects for the entirety of his existence.
Due to the financial implications associated with his care, he will not have the opportunity to be adopted. However, he has fortunately been welcomed into a nurturing and permanent foster home, where he will be provided with ongoing support and treatment by the dedicated team at LuvnPupz.
Stinger has made tremendous progress since the day he was abandoned at the shelter. His once-agonizing blisters have now completely healed, and to top it off, he now sports a stunning and immaculate white fur.
This adorable pup brings so much joy and love to his new home. He’s full of energy and happiness, embracing his newfound life with open paws! Let’s spread the cheer by sharing his heartwarming story with our friends and loved ones.
