❤️ Welcome to DREAM, Wilbert.

❤️ Alright, DREAM family. We have a new little guy who could really use some love and support. So many of you reached out to us about this sweet boy who was at risk at a local animal control. This morning, one of our amazing volunteers went straight there to get him, and thanks to her, Wilbert is now safe with DREAM. We wish we could say that was the hardest part, but this little guy has quite a battle ahead of him. As you can see, Wilbert is severely underweight, and his skin is in terrible condition from flea allergies. What you can’t see is that he’s also heartworm positive, has advanced dental disease, and has two masses on his belly. His teeth are in such poor condition that he will likely need most, if not all, of them removed. We’re also concerned about the condition of his jaw. Unfortunately, Wilbert isn’t stable enough for surgery just yet. For now, our priorities are getting some good food into that tiny body, beginning his heartworm treatment, and helping him get strong enough for the medical care he needs. He’ll be reevaluated in a few weeks to determine whether he’s ready for dental surgery. And here’s what we already know about Wilbert: His name means “bright will,” and we have a feeling he’s going to live up to it. Judging by his freedom ride this morning, he’s pretty happy to be out of animal control. Now it’s our turn to show him just how good life can be. We’ve started a fundraiser to help cover Wilbert’s medical care. Between his heartworm treatment, dental needs, and the additional care ahead, we know his expenses will be significant. Welcome to DREAM, Wilbert. You’re safe now, little buddy. We’ve got you. ❤️🐾 Dreamrescue.org #DREAMRescueGA #DREAMAlumniClub #DachshundLove #GeorgiaDachshunds #DachshundRescue
