By nature, Seamus is a shy boy. But this suffering dog was so desperate for help with a horrible neck injury he’d gotten, he ran straight into the house of a human he didn’t know.

Fortunately, the man who greeted him loves animals. He paid for Seamus’s care at a nearby clinic, but the poor boy needed long-term treatment. Luckily for him, one of our vets was the kind man’s neighbor, so Seamus ended up at the Soi Dog hospital.

Please, will you click https://bit.ly/save_seamus now and join our Emergency Response Team, for the love of homeless animals who have no one?

Even a small monthly gift will help ensure homeless, hurting dogs like Seamus will always have a place to go for help. Or if you prefer, a one-off gift of whatever you can afford will also work wonders for the animals we rescue.

Seamus’s sad story is so typical that, if you read our posts regularly, you can probably guess what happened. He had gotten a wound on his neck, in his case apparently from a too-tight collar, and maggots invaded it. They were eating away, making the wound ever bigger and more painful for poor Seamus.

We are not sure how long this had been happening to Seamus, but in the tropical climate of Phuket, Thailand, where Soi Dog is located, it’s a tragedy that befalls homeless animals all the time.

Thanks to our wonderful supporters, Seamus is safe now at Soi Dog shelter, where he’s been getting the medical treatment he needs and the love he deserves.

Our vets got right down to cleaning his wound of maggots, and have been regularly treating it with a simply wondrous type of honey we rely on to help heal such wounds. They report that Seamus’s wound is healing well.

(Please note: We only use muzzles as pictured when absolutely necessary. It is done to protect our vets from injury and to ensure we can treat the desperate animal. Initially, Seamus was terrified and extremely aggressive.)

Aside from his neck wound, this 1-year-old was also infested with fleas, which have been banished from his poor body. He’s also received a full set of vaccinations, and has been neutered.

As he heals, Seamus is eating well and has a comfortable place to sleep – perhaps for the first time in his life.

That his wound looks to have come from a too-tight collar suggests he was owned, but severely neglected. He won’t have to return to that terrible situation, thanks to the compassionate, generous animal lovers who help support the approximately 1,100 animals in our care at any given time.
