When Dodo arrived at our shelter as a senior stray, he was in rough shape. His medical exam revealed a long list of chronic conditions—interdigital cysts, allergic skin disease, dental issues, hip dysplasia, cruciate ligament injury, arthritis, and advanced kidney disease. His prognosis was palliative. But Dodo wasn’t done yet.
Thanks to our compassionate community of supporters, Dodo was placed in a loving foster home where he could receive the care, comfort, and attention he deserved. And something incredible happened—he started showing signs of improvement. It’s amazing what love and stability can do for an animal in need.
Because of people like you, Dodo is spending his golden days surrounded by warmth, care, and kindness.
