He was severely injured, had open wounds, and was covered with ticks. Bo was fortunate that the Ohio SPCA’s Eastern Counties Coordinator, Robin McClelland made a visit that day to the dog pound. Concerned that he may have been shot as well, Robin pursuaded the reluctant dog warden to telephone the local vet to have the dog treated, but treatment was not in the cards for Bo in that county. The County apparently neither has a contract with, nor do they desire to pay for the services of a vet. Upon learning Bo received no treatment, Robin immediately was able to arrange to pull the dog utilizing humane laws under the Ohio Revised Code.

Bo received emergency and subsequental treatment for his many injuries and aliments, which included parvo and hospitalization. After a lengthy recovery period, today Bo is a healthy and happy neutered boy with little signs of the massive injuries he sustained. Thanks to the HarrisonCP virtual rescue group for all their efforts in raising much needed funding and a special thanks to LabMed, Inc. for their generous contribution!

yellerHad the Ohio SPCA not shown up that day, Bo would have been left to suffer, from Monday until Thursday when he would have most certainly met his fate in a home-made gas box. Without donations for vetting, the financial burden would have been overly burdensome on the Ohio SPCA, but we would have somehow managed.
