Our little champion, Rakki, had to have surgery again this week because
his skin was so thin and fragile after the coyote attack that his wound
opened up. After an overnight stay at the hospital he is now all
stitched up and is looking great. We have exhausted every effort to find
his family with no success. One of the people who wanted to adopt him
came to meet him at the hospital and fell in love with him and took him
home to heal and recover at their house. Rakki gets attached to people
very easily so for him to recover at his new forever home is great
because then he won’t attach needlessly to a foster parent and have to
move again.
Rakki now has a new sister and brother and they are thrilled to have
him. He is getting nice and spoiled and from now on will only have the
good life! Here is Rakki (above) celebrating some good Christmas cheer
with his new family. Rakki’s vet bills, after two surgeries and several
days collectively at the hospital, are extensive. We can only do rescues
like this because of generous people like you. Please make an end of the year donation
to The Gentle Barn so we can go into the new year strong, ready to be
here for more animals that without us have no where else to go.
