Lazarus, or Lazzy as his foster parents call him, was rescued off the streets of Woonsocket. We learned that Lazzy had lived outside for as long as members of the local community could remember, and had been suffering from severe injuries for many months–including through the winter.  But thanks to dedicated volunteers, Lazarus finally found safety and received the urgent medical care he needed.

Unfortunately, after spending so long trying to survive outside, he was suffering from multiple wounds, broken teeth, cystitis (an inflamed bladder), hematuria (blood in urine), and a large polyp in his ear. Following critical care for his obvious wounds, Lazarus developed a severe urinary tract infection and sudden onset diabetes that required hospitalization.

Thankfully, because of generous donors like you, Lazzy was able to receive life-saving, 24/7 care and has since made an incredible recovery!
