Help Us Heal The Lorax 💙

The Lorax was found as a stray, and despite being in obvious pain, he is incredibly gentle and trusting. We don’t know what his life looked like before he came to us, but we do know he has been uncomfortable for a long time.

Our veterinary team diagnosed The Lorax with severe pyoderma, a painful bacterial skin infection that causes raw, inflamed skin and pus-filled sores. He was also covered in fleas, which only intensified the itching and discomfort. When he first arrived, his skin was so damaged that we were genuinely worried he may have suffered burns.

On top of that, The Lorax has significant damage to one of his eyes. The eye is swollen, inflamed, cloudy, and very uncomfortable. He has been started on medications right away, but if his eye does not respond to treatment, removal may be the kindest option to relieve his pain and give him the best long-term quality of life.

The Lorax weighs about 38 pounds and is currently staying in our clinic so he can receive intensive medical care, medications, and close monitoring. His recovery will take time — and resources — but he is absolutely worth it.

💙 Your donation helps cover:

Veterinary exams and ongoing care
Medications for skin infection, parasites, and pain
Eye treatment and possible surgery
Supportive care while he heals

Every dollar goes directly toward helping The Lorax feel comfortable, safe, and pain-free for the first time in who knows how long. If you’re able to donate or share his story, you are giving him a real chance at healing — and a future he deserves.

Thank you for standing up for The Lorax when he needs it most.
