Meet - Irving.

Hairless. Scabby. Bloody. Underweight, and so very, very tired.

Meet Irving, a sweet Italian Greyhound who somehow found himself wandering the streets alone, scared, and suffering in a body that has been crying out for help. We may never know who is responsible for this torture, but we thank our lucky stars that he somehow made it out of whatever hell he was living in and into our arms.

Irving is suffering from a severe, untreated Demodex mange infection. A condition that, when addressed early is a quick, non expensive, painless fix. Instead, this little boy was left to suffer until his skin became raw, his wounds began bleeding, and his entire body became a heartbreaking reminder of what happens when medical care doesn't come.

And yet, somehow, through all of this, Irving hasn't given up on humanity.

His little body is covered in open, painful, oozing wounds, but his heart? That sweet little heart is still willing to trust. Beneath his initial shyness and uncertainty is a boy who wants snuggles, offers the sweetest kisses, and is still capable of showing us the very best of what dogs are made of.

That's the thing about dogs. They keep loving us, even when we've given them every reason not to.

Irving doesn't understand why he was neglected. He doesn't know why his skin hurts or why his body has been left to suffer. He only knows that someone finally reached out their hands, wrapped him in a blanket, and promised him that things would be different.

And at Rugaz Rescue Inc., we intend to keep that promise.

We cannot change what happened to Irving before he found us. We cannot erase the pain he has already experienced. But together, we can make damn sure that his story doesn't end here.

We need your help to fight for Irving. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us provide the medical care and healing that this precious boy should have received long ago.

Please consider skipping a morning coffee to help Irving heal. Sharing his story helps us reach more people who may not only be able to help Irving heal but may know who is responsible for his condition.

He has already survived so much. Now it's our turn to show him what happens when people finally get it right.
