Darcio the senior Schnauzer

Darcio, a sweet and gentle Schnauzer is in need of our help! His story with Home Rescue began when we were contacted by the local shelter after being surrendered and no rescue interest. Everyone deserves a fighting chance and this boy had too much fight left in him to not give him one. So we took him in in hopes of providing him with a better shot at life then what he was previously used to. Darcio was surrendered by his owner without a name and a simple, "he's to old for us." From the state he was in it is likely he suffered years of neglect. He is almost completly blind, emaciated, teeth are rotten, and just in a weakened state. Upon arrival to his new foster home he was walking and still able to hold himself up but back legs were weak. We took him to the vet and ran some blood tests and nothing came back abnormal but vet did recommend a strict diet and some things to help bring his glucose up.  At first, Darcio showed improvement but unfortunately he has taken a turn for the worse these past couple days. Today, has been the worst. His worried foster took him to an emergency vet where they temporarily treated him and suggested extensive tests. Vet recommended hospitalization and  significant medical attention, attention that is now beyond the ability of our small rescue to afford without your help. Currently, we are home providing him round the clock care with recommendations from the emergency vet until we can get him into our vet.  Thus we are reaching out in support from others who feel like we do, that everyone deserves a chance.  As weak as this boy is he has not given up and we want to make sure that we do not give up on him either.  Please, if you are able, donate and share his campaign and help us give him a shot at a happy ending chapter to his life to make up for his rough beginning. There isn't a guarantee he will make it through in the end but at least he will know he was loved and us here at Home Rescue believed he was more than just an "old dog."
