Harold’s journey began in a local puppy mill, a place where mother dogs are confined to small cages and countless puppies are bred for profit. These mills pose significant risks to the animals, including major birth defects and lifelong health issues.
For two agonizing days, Harold fought to eat without regurgitating. The medical team discovered ulcerations, strictures in his intestines, abdominal adhesions, enlarged lymph nodes, elevated liver levels, and the presence of gastro fluid in his belly and esophagus during an emergency exploratory surgery.
Despite the challenges he faces, Harold has become a beloved resident of Dallas DoggRRR. He serves as their mascot and social media ambassador, spreading awareness about the plight of animals like him.
“He is a true warrior,” says the organization. “But it breaks our hearts to see him in such pain. We’re determined to do everything in our power to help Harold.”
