When Squid came into rescue, he was facing the unthinkable — two fractured limbs- -- one brand new, and one trying to heal. We knew right away he needed urgent, specialized care, and we committed to giving him the chance at healing he so desperately deserved.

But his journey didn’t stop there. Trying to walk with only two usable legs put incredible stress on his fragile body, leading to yet another fracture. As if that wasn’t enough, Squid later had a severe reaction to one of the orthopedic plates (plated prior to coming to rescue) which meant it had to be removed — and during that process, he suffered another setback of many weeks bring splinted.

It’s been six months of setbacks and surgeries, each one testing his resilience. He’s endured multiple major orthopedic procedures, weeks of pain management, and round-the-clock care. Through it all, Squid has shown a determination that inspires everyone who meets him.

💜 The good news? Squid is doing well. He’s healing, getting stronger every day, and recently celebrated his first birthday — a milestone we weren’t sure he’d ever reach. His spirit is unshaken, and every tail wag tells us he’s not giving up.

Your donations go directly toward covering his ongoing medical expenses: follow-up orthopedic care, therapies, medications, and everything he needs to continue recovering. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us keep Squid moving forward toward a pain-free and happy future.

Thank you for believing in Squid, for sharing his story, and for standing by his side as he fights to overcome every obstacle life has thrown his way. Together, we can finally give him the break he deserves. 🐾"
