After being attacked by thousands of bees, his family checked him into a shelter and left him there, making the situation even worse than it already was.
The deaf Pit Bull, who was later given the name Stinger by the people who rescued him, presented himself at the shelter with blisters all over his body that posed a significant risk to his life.
They were going to put the dog to sleep because they were unable to provide any kind of treatment for him in his current condition.
That’s when Greater Grand Rapids, Michigan-based rescue worker Carri Shipaila, who runs the LuvnPupz organization, came to the aid of the animals. As soon as she found out about Stinger, she sprang into action and, after getting in her car, drove for almost an hour to retrieve him from the animal shelter.
Unfortunately, his family decided not to take him in, and as a result, she did not waste any time in beginning her efforts to save Stinger’s life. They treated his stings in addition to a subsequent skin infection and sarcoptic mange that he developed as a result of the stings.
Pemphigus, an autoimmune disease, is something he will have to deal with for the rest of his life because, unfortunately, he ended up getting it.
Although he will never be available for adoption because of the costs associated with his care, he did find a loving forever home with a foster and will continue to receive care and therapy from LuvnPupz. Despite this, he will never be put up for adoption.
Since he was brought to the shelter as a stray for the first time, Stinger has come such a long way. His agonizing blisters have, at long last, healed, and he now has a stunningly beautiful white coat.
He is such a happy, affectionate dog, and he is thriving in the new life he has found in a loving home.
