Remy, an abused bull terrier rescued from death row at the local pound found himself in the caring hands of the folks at the Bowen Collinsville Pet Rescue Inc. Sore, broken and neglected, his pain was evident to the volunteers who took him in.
Remy was diagnosed with an eye infection, a severe skin infection covering his body and luxating patella, meaning he could barely walk and was in terrible pain. He needed surgery but the procedure was too expensive for the volunteer organisation to afford alone, and so they reached out to the local community seeking aid.
All the loving hearts of the Whitsundays came together and transcended expectations for this darling doggy. In just two days, an enormous amount of money was raised and the surgery goal was met and then almost doubled! Raising close to $5000, Remy can now get the treatments and surgery he needs.
What a shining and supportive community, helping those neglected to begin to live again. Remy is now in a wonderful foster home and starting to trust humans again. He is wagging his tail, playing games with other dogs and is learning commands and communication through hand signals. Always ready for a snuggle, he is becoming more confident by the day, thank you to everyone who has donated.
