Life is hard for the dogs of Red Lake

Attached is a picture of Crusty, a big white husky mix and D.

Crusty's owner brought him in because he had a gunshot wound. He had been shot from the side of his body, with the bullet exiting above his tail. The bullet someone miraculously missed hitting any vital organs. Crusty's owner stated that this is the fourth time Crusty has been shot and that he has always recovered and healed up well, even without vet care.


D. worked very hard to convince the owner that he should consider surrending him to have a better life in a safer place. The owner wasn't ready or willing to do that, so the wound area was shaved and antibiotics were sent home with the owner.

  1. Poor Crusty. His name is so sad, who names a dog Crusty?
    I hope his owners eventually reconsider surrendering him. The next shot might be lethal.

  2. I know that Karen won't forget about Crusty. She'll keep in touch with the owners and we'll hope for the best.
