POOR Mr. Pibb

At 10 years old, gentle Labrador Retriever should be spending his golden years in a loving home—not alone in a shelter kennel, fighting painful medical conditions while time runs out.

This sweet senior arrived at the shelter as a stray on July 13, 2026, after being found wandering in Santa Ana. Instead of receiving the comfort and care every senior dog deserves, he now faces a heartbreaking deadline.

His review date is July 17, 2026.

His Medical Condition

Shelter veterinarians have documented several serious medical concerns requiring treatment:

• Painful pyoderma (skin infection)
• Ear infection
• Underweight body condition
• Significant dental disease

These conditions are painful but treatable. With proper veterinary care, nutritious food, medication, and time to recover, this sweet senior has every chance to enjoy many more happy days.

Unfortunately, medical cases like his are often the hardest for rescues to save. The cost of treatment, diagnostics, medications, and ongoing care can quickly add up, making it difficult for rescue organizations to say “yes”—even when they desperately want to help.

How Your Donation Helps

Your gift will help cover the expenses needed to give him a second chance, including:

• Rescue pull fees
• Initial veterinary examination
• Treatment for his skin and ear infections
• Dental evaluation and treatment
• Medications
• High-quality food to restore a healthy weight
• Foster and recovery supplies
• Transportation to safety if needed

Every donation, no matter the amount, removes another obstacle standing between this deserving senior and a new beginning.

He has already spent ten years giving unconditional love to people. He deserves compassion in return—not to have his life end because he became old, sick, and alone.

Please help us give this beautiful senior Labrador the medical care, safety, and second chance he so desperately deserves.
