Meet Marty, a brave and resilient 3-year-old Golden who has been through more than any dog should endure. Picture this: a gentle soul weighing around 50 pounds, who recently found himself lost and alone in a rural Kentucky county. But fortune smiled upon him when a Good Samaritan spotted him wandering around, revealing a painful secret—the poor boy had a gunshot wound on his side. 😢💔 Imagine the courage it took for him to trust humans again after such a traumatic experience. As he was brought to GRRAND, the vets discovered that shrapnel was lodged in his infected wound. This sweet boy is currently receiving round-the-clock care at MVSES, including daily wound debridement, IV fluids, and antibiotics. Though he’s a fighter, Marty’s appetite has taken a hit, and he needs a lot of love and extra attention to support his recovery. His journey to heal will require not only medical treatment but also a loving foster home. Could YOU be the one to open your heart and home to this deserving boy? 🏡❤️ He will need gentle hands to help with wound cleaning, packing, wrapping, and trips to the vet. Each moment spent nurturing him will be a step toward restoring his faith in kindness. Marty’s recovery won’t happen overnight. It will take patience and compassion, and he truly deserves a family who will care for him through the ups and downs of healing. Just imagine the joy and love he will bring to your life! 🌈✨ If your heart aches for Marty's story and you believe you have what it takes to help him heal, please, apply to foster or adopt him through the Buddy App. Let’s help this incredible dog find his way back to trust and love!
