Usher - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Lakeland, Florida

When we pulled Usher from the shelter this weekend , we knew he was a medical case. We knew he needed help. What we didn't know was just how much help he would need, and how quickly.

This morning Usher was taken for diagnostics he's going to be spending the night on IV antibiotics for pneumonia and on fluids. Before we can begin addressing the other medical issues he's facing, we have to get him stable and breathing comfortably. His condition is serious, and while we know this journey may ultimately become hospice care, we couldn't leave him behind.

If you can help any donation at all will help because as we are dealing with this we have another emergency happening with Stella the mom to the puppies that was just surrendered this weekend as well.

If you would like to help Usher, donations can be made through our Facebook fundraiser, PayPal, Venmo, or directly to our veterinary clinic.

Please donate if you can.

Please share if you can't.

Please keep Usher in your thoughts
