We rescued River from a shelter in South Carolina. An officer found him lying next to the road begging someone to help him! We took him straight to emergency veterinary care, where he has remained in ICU. He is extremely emaciated with open wounds containing maggots. Somebody neglected him for years, and he has the symptoms to show for it. We will do everything we can to help River on his road to recovery.
