Please Save Pumba's Vision

If you have been following along with the tragedy of 17 dogs abandoned in boarding by a "rescue" since Oct 2022, Bubbles had kindly decided to step in and help the second to last dog abandoned. (There is still one left, Zoey, we are working so very hard to free her from almost a year at boarding).

His name is Pumba. He was abandoned by his "rescue, in a boarding facility since Oct. 2022. He came from Downey Shelter with the promise of being placed in a foster home then forever home - That didn't happen! Instead, he went from the shelter to a boarding facility and was not able to get out for over 8 months due to lack of fosters and funding and no REAL rescue "backing".

Now that Pumba is safe with Bubbles Dog Rescue, he is a completely different dog. He is kind, he is active, he is a HUGE love bug. Pumba loves others, humans and dogs. He is very nonreactive and great and gentle with humans. HOWEVER, Pumba really, really cannot see well.

We knew that we would have to take him to the vet and get the routine things situated, but we did not expect the severity of his eye condition. We took him to the vet to find out he is at a 99% percent chance to get ulcers ON his eyes from a condition called entropion. Pumba's eyelids grow inward, so he constantly has all of his eyelashes in his eye, irritating them, and slowly deteriorating his eyesight. He may have lost around 30% vision so far.

Pumba's future quality of life, his vision and comfort, is now dependent on this surgery.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bubbles Dog Rescue is a nonprofit that depends on the incredible support from the community to continue to function. We thank you so much for your ongoing support and for reading this.

We promise to keep you updated on Pumba and we hope to make the goal to be able to get him this surgery.

Love, Bubbles Dog Rescue and Pumba
