Forrest was tortured by dog fighters.
Outcast Rescue pulled Forrest (known as Pumpernickel at ACCT Philly) from the euthanasia list. He was advertised as hit by a car with a possible broken leg. Well... when rescuers got to the shelter, he was unable to stand on his own and was buried in some blankets.
Rescue’s founder Kelly Moyer loaded him into her car but lifting the blankets so she never saw what was underneath. He went straight to the emergency vet and it was very quickly made clear that he wasn't hit by a car that he was in fact a bait dog.
He was covered head to toe in new and old puncture wounds and healed scars of past torture. His left hear was so badly injured and infected that it had to be removed the following day. He has had surgery to remove his ear, clean all his wounds, open the puss filled pockets on 3 of 4 legs, and insert drains. He has had a horrible start at life and his story deserves to be heard! I have attached some pictures of Forrest's injuries.

These items make great gifts. Please help become her voice.
UPDATE 3-26-17: Forrest had a bandage change done and everything looks great so Dr. Ross was comfortable sending him home to his medical foster! He will be back on Sunday to have his bandage changed again and hopefully remove his drains. Forrest still has a very long recovery ahead of him and with each moment of interaction he is learning to trust. No matter how many scars on the outside he may have from the horrific ordeal he knew as his life before, we still think he is the most handsome boy ever.
