Stanley Update Several weeks ago, we found Stanley lying on the side of the road after being hit by a car. He was in terrible shape, and we truly believe that if we hadn't stopped, he would have died a slow and horrible death. We immediately got him to safety, and he's been recovering in foster care with our director ever since. When Stanley came to us, he was incredibly sick and severely emaciated. He has virtually no teeth left in his mouth and was so thin that we had to be extremely careful about refeeding syndrome, meaning he now gets three small meals a day along with multiple medications to help him safely gain weight and heal. Last week we noticed something concerning - his breathing effort had increased and he wasn't as interested in food as he normally is. For a dog who came to us starving, that was a huge red flag. We rushed him to our incredible veterinary partners at Charleston Veterinary Referral Center where they performed radiographs and had a cardiologist evaluate him. The tests showed that Stanley has Pulmonary Hypertension. Thankfully he is not in heart failure right now, but it is something we will have to monitor closely moving forward. His x-rays also told a heartbreaking story. Scattered throughout his body were dozens of BBs - in his chest, on his front legs, and over a hundred in the back half of his body. At some point in his life, someone used him for target practice. Despite everything he's endured, Stanley has remained the sweetest, most gentle soul. He loves people and does well with other dogs, and all he seems to want is kindness. Stanley has survived so much already - and we're determined to give him the chance he's always deserved. While Stanley is not currently available due to medical needs we hope everyone can follow his story and watch him become the dog he deserves to be. When Stanley is medically cleared we will be looking for the most amazing home for this special boy
