Help Austin Get the Fresh Start He Deserves
Meet Austin, a 4½-year-old Bernedoodle with the gentlest heart.
Austin recently found himself in an incredibly difficult situation. His owner suffered a stroke, and her husband had passed away. Through circumstances beyond anyone's control, Austin's care needs became overwhelming and unfortunately Austin suffered the consequences.
When we picked Austin up, it was clear he needed help. He had recently been shaved down to the skin after going many months without grooming. Underneath, we found numerous wounds, scabs, and areas of irritated skin, some of which were actively bleeding. He is underweight, appears to have significant dental issues, and has only received a rabies vaccine.
What has amazed us most is Austin's spirit. Despite being uncomfortable and clearly in need of medical care, he remains incredibly sweet and trusting. He allows us to touch his sore ears, paws, and tail without complaint. He seeks out affection and seems happiest simply lying near someone.
Austin is currently being fostered by my retired parents, who welcomed him into their home immediately. He has been wonderful with children and every person he has met. Even after everything he has experienced, he continues to show nothing but kindness and love.
Austin's immediate veterinary needs include:
Comprehensive veterinary examination
Vaccinations
Bloodwork and health screening
Treatment for his skin wounds and infections
Dental evaluation and treatment
Neuter surgery
Nutritional support and ongoing medical and grooming care
We are committed to giving Austin the care and second chance he deserves, but the cost of his medical care is expected to be substantial.
If you are able to contribute, we would be deeply grateful. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward Austin's veterinary care and recovery. If you're unable to donate, sharing his story is another meaningful way to help.
Austin has already been through so much. Our hope is that the rest of his life will be filled with comfort, good health, and the love he has always deserved.
Thank you for being part of Austin's journey.
❤️ Austin and his foster family
