A Pit Bull dog named Romeo, was completely neglected by his family after having treatable health conditions. As a result of his paralysis Romeo could not walk, his owner brought him to be euthanized rather than getting him the help he needed.
A kill-shelter volunteer then overheard the vet talking and came up with an idea, since she had overheard that his condition could be treatable. Our dogs are our family. If they are in need of medical attention, is our responsibility to make sure they have everything they need.
But not all humans think the same way. She made a few calls, but fortunately AMA Animal Rescue was happy to intervene. They picked up Romeo from the shelter and brought him to a special neurologist. The doctor explained that through continual physical therapy, Romeo is likely to walk again.
Romeo was such a troublesome boy! He was also so good with everyone he met. The rescue team raised funds for the treatment he needed. After a couple of weeks, Romeo was walking again! It truly was a miracle. But then Romeo had a setback.
His eyes continued to shred and have become quite uncomfortable. The rescue group brought him to an eye fixed specialist and he was diagnosed with Entropion, a condition where the eyelids are turned inward. Romeo needed surgery. As if this bomber had not been through enough!
The rescue team once again raised funds for Romeo, and he underwent surgery. He did so well and the doctor was pleased with Romeo’s progress. He still longed for a family but as many Pit Bulls, he was repeatedly overlooked.
He had been through numerous challenges and had been rejected several times. One of his wishes is to be adopted and loved from now on.
