We pulled Fred Flintstone (formerly Nemo) from Dallas Animal Services and welcomed him into our program. 🧡

Fred has already seen our veterinarian, and his medical needs are significant. He has diabetes, severe anemia, dry eye, painful eye ulcers, and is extremely malnourished.

• Diabetes – Fred requires careful monitoring, insulin management, proper nutrition, and a consistent routine to keep his blood sugar stable. This is a lifelong condition, but with proper care, diabetic dogs can live happy, comfortable lives.

• Severe anemia – This means Fred has a dangerously low red blood cell count, leaving him weak and vulnerable. We suspect this is from him having untreated diabetes for a while.

• Dry eye (KCS) – Fred’s eyes do not produce enough natural tears, which causes irritation, pain, and damage if untreated. Daily medications are needed to keep his eyes lubricated and protected.

• Painful eye ulcers – These open sores on the surface of his eyes are extremely uncomfortable and require frequent medication and close monitoring to heal properly and prevent vision loss.

This will not be a quick or easy journey—but helping animals with complex medical needs is exactly why we exist. We don’t turn away from the hard cases.

Despite everything his body has been through, Fred is happy, engaged, and has a great appetite—a reminder of just how much fight he still has left. We believe he deserves a chance, and we are committed to giving him one. That said, Fred’s care will be extensive and ongoing, and we need your help. Every donation goes directly toward his medical treatment, medications, and continued care. If you’re able to give, please consider supporting Fred’s road to healing.

Cases like Fred’s are complex, time-consuming, and costly—but this is the heart of our mission. He is already showing us his resilience with a great appetite and a happy spirit, and we are committed to walking this road with him every step of the way
