Support Alf's Healing Journey After Dog Attack

Donation protected




Over the July 4th week, we were camping and paddle boarding on a lake with our little dog, Alf. We managed to get on an island where we were enjoying the sun and having a great time. At some point, Alf wandered off and out of nowhere, another group of people with a pitbull mix came up and quickly the situation turned ugly. Before we knew it, our little 15 lb Alf was inside of this dog's mouth being shaken around and crying for help. Everyone in our group did everything to get him free. Luckily, he was wearing his life vest and it managed to take most of the blow.

After what seemed like an eternity, we finally got him free and noticed he had a few bite wounds from the whole ordeal. Once we got him home, we cleaned up the wound and thought all was fine. However, around late night to early morning, he started to turn south and we rushed him to the E.R. He had a massive infection and a raging fever. The two puncture wounds got severely infected and were causing him to get worse.

Now Alf is on major pain pills and antibiotics to get him better and get his bandages professionally changed and wound cleaned once every three days. As you know, vet bills can stack up and start to get difficult to manage on top of the stress and trauma of the situation. This is a small little dog who everyone who has met knows is nothing but an angel who is the absolute world to Emma, his owner. Anything could help just to get this sweet boy the treatment he needs to keep fighting and continue being the loving and playful dog he once was. Thank you very much!
