This big boy was found at a nearby local business tethered to a tree
We don't know how he came to be in this situation, but our hearts break at the thought of an owner leaving their injured pet when they are in such a vulnerable condition. He was alone, in a great deal of pain, and unable to walk much more than a short distance without support
We sincerely hope this boy will be able to get the help he needs from a rescue organization with the resources to help him.
