Elderly Canine Emerges from Storm Drain Trauma, Eager for a Loving Permanent Home

In late May, the Humane Society of Lebanon County (HSLC) in Pennsylvania received an urgent call from local police and rescue workers about a dog in a storm drain. The dog looked dead at first, but when the drain grate was removed, he slowly raised his head.

A volunteer and staff member went to the scene immediately, knowing that medical attention would likely be required; It was a devastating scene. The skinny dog had curled into a ball and was clearly on the verge of death.

The pup was gently rescued, loaded up and transported to an emergency vet for prompt medical attention. The dog’s owner was quickly located; Buddy, a 15-year-old dog, has been missing for three weeks.

“We made attempts to reunite Buddy with his owner after he returned to HSLC. We tried over and over again. Since Buddy and getting what he needs is the main focus of the story, we won’t go into too much detail.

Buddy received three days of life-saving emergency care. His condition slowly began to improve. Buddy has certainly made tremendous improvement, but he is an older man with follow-up medical appointments, ultrasounds, x-rays, and an eye doctor appointment. Furthermore, Buddy’s age prevents him from being sedated, so finding a nursing home and a patient would be the best option. The shelter will continue to pay for his medical care, as well as his food and vitamins.

Buddy doesn’t seem to mind cats and does best with calmer canines.

“The world is full of negativity, sadness, and events we don’t fully understand. Please focus on kindness, support, and healing and let’s find Buddy a hug!” The journey continues…for Buddy.
