Paco has an Infected Leg From a Dog Attack
A good Samaritan found Paco injured, bleeding and unable to walk in Hermosillo, Mexico. He was taken to a local animal shelter where they bandaged the fractured leg, but didn’t properly clean or treat his wounds, as we would later determine. Paco languished in the shelter for over five weeks until ABC learned about the situation through a rescue partner. ABC agreed to take him in for evaluation and treatment. The initial consultation showed that his leg was fractured by a dog attack, which then became severely infected. ABC is now trying desperately to save Paco’s leg. However, it requires an advanced surgery and rigorous rehabilitation for it to be a successful outcome.
We are attempting to raise $6,000 to help cover the cost of his surgery and treatment. Any size contribution will make a difference! Please make an online, tax-deductible donation or mail a check to Animals Benefit Club, 3111 E St John Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85032. Include “Paco” in your donation description. All funds beyond our estimate will go towards future Critical Care animals. Thank you!

ABC rescues animals regardless of their medical condition. Many times an animal needs surgery or extended medical care before he or she is ready for adoption. Our Critical Care Corner will keep you updated on these special needs animals.
