I am the owner of 4AnimalCare.org, a rescue, rehab and behavior modification network with volunteers across the country ready to help contribute time, effort and knowledge for animal welfare. We have re-homed dogs, countless cats and are growing our activities in exotic bird care. I’d like to provide the answers to your questions and concerns about how to recognize animals in need, what you can do in your area and contribute to supporting you through the initial adjustment time after adopting a previously neglected animal. If I don’t have the answers, I’ll do whatever I can to find someone who does!

I am so sorry for all of your burdens.  There are a couple of things you might be able to do.  1. Ask the vet if they will treat the puppy on payments.  2. Ask the vet if you surrender the pet to them

Thank you so much for wanting to help this poor sweetie.  He definitely needs to see a vet for the leg wound before it becomes infected and have to ve amputated.  I really don't know what the vet costs
