Sherwood Humane Animal Services needs your help in caring for a dog with a bullet lodged in its jaw. They say someone dropped off the female chocolate Labrador retriever Wednesday after it had been found abandoned. Noticing the dog may have an infection, a veterinarian conducted x-rays that revealed a bullet wound to the lower jaw. It's unknown how long the bullet has been there. In order for the dog to have a fully functional jaw, the dog will need surgery costing more than $2,000.00. Her surgery is schedule for Monday, Oct. 15th, and people have already donated $1500 to help pay for her care.
Those interested in donating money or adopting the dog can contact Sherwood Humane Animal Services weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m, saturdays 12 noon - 4p.m. Adoption hours are 11am - 5pm weekdays.

I went by the shelter today and dropped of a donation they have almost reached their goal of raising money for this sweet dog. The bullet is still lodged in her jawbone, bone fragments are in her tongue. The dog is on a liquid diet until she begins recovery after the surgery. They have found a specialist to perform the surgery on Monday.
Please keep the donations coming, they need our help. Any money that exceeds the amount needed for surgery will help to replenish their medical budget.
The pooch has been featured on Fox 16 news, KTHV Channel 11 news and was on the front cover of the Arkansas Secton of the Democrat Gazette (Sat. October 13th).
