Casey Bear: *Donations Needed* Rescued 3/31/14
Thomasville Animal Control Officer Lewis was responding to an animal welfare call when she found this little girl in desperate need of help. We have named her Casey Bear.
Casey Bear was chained in the front yard of house in Thomasville, NC. When officer Lewis pulled into the driveway an elderly man came out and asked her if she was there to pick up the dog and get it help. He said that he got her from a friend 4 or 5 months ago. He also said that he knew she needed vet care but he was ill and could not even afford his own medication. Casey Bear is in pitiful shape. She is underweight, her skin is covered in open soars, scales and scabs but yet she was still wagging her little nub tail as Officer Lewis loaded her up into the truck and called us for help.
Casey Bear was taken to Davidson Animal Hospital for treatment.
Casey Bear’s nails are over grown, the pads of her feet between her toes are swollen, she has open bleeding wounds all over her body, some of the small amount of fur she has left is tangled in mats, and her entire underside (chin, neck, chest and abdomen) is crusty and fur-less. Casey weighed in at 23 lbs (she is underweight), she was estimated to be fairly young possibly right at 1-2 yrs old, her fecal test did not show any intestinal parasites and her Heartworm test came back negative. Her skin scrape revealed Red Mange (Demodicosis) often brought on by poor nutrition or a compromised immune system.
Dr. Hedrick is concerned that she may have been the runt of the litter and could possibly have some health issues but we will know more through the coming days (during the course of her treatment which has already begun).
We are greatly in need of donations to cover Casey Bears medical treatments, exams, medications, medical boarding and spay.

poor baby… prayers for her health to return and lots of donations <3 shared
Just breaks my heart. Poor thing.hope she finds a family that will love and take care of her.
I feel so sorry for her! That is inexcusable. I would be more than willing to adopt her if her temperament is good and she would be okay around cats. I would love to have the chance to show her what a good life should be like. And I'm sorry, I don't care how old the man was that had her or how sick or how broke he was. He could have called someone to help her. He left her out in the yard in the cold in that condition??? He just didn't care! I've worked in rescue for many years and I've heard all their excuses. He needs to be punished for animal abuse which is a felony now in all 50 states.
So, so sad and frustrating. Why do people wait so long to ask for help?
Why did he take her if he couldn't care for her. People's stupidity never seizes to amaze me.
How in the name of God could this happen to this poor fur child. Please take care and prayers everyday.
Prayers and Hugs that Casey Bear and her Great Vet can get her through this, and she can experience true love and caring from humans!
This baby breaks my heart! I am making a donation for her care,but would like to let you know I am interested in adopting her when she is well enough. Praying she has no underlying health issues! Can I come see her just to show her love. I understand if she is too fragile right now. Thanks!
Didn't anyone see her in the front yard before this?
How is casey bear doing now?
so sad…
Horrible..Poor Baby :(((( <3
Any updates on her?
It is "ceases" not "seizes" (one means "to end" and the other means "to grab something/the process of having a seizure" and no apostrophe after the "s" because it does not show ownership. Also, you needed to end the first sentence with a question mark because you were asking a question not making a statement. Please don't call people stupid, It's rude and we could all call someone stupid for something (like your appalling sentence above). Have empathy for both the animal and the man, because he obviously needed medical care and isn't able to get it either. You have no idea what his circumstances were at the time he took the dog or what his illness is. I hope Casey Bear and the older gentleman are able to BOTH get the medical attention they need.
When will she be well enough for adoption?
any up dates on her please .. what size dog will she be
If we did the eye for an eye …. punishment.. .be to good for all the mess people let their animals get in.. thanks all of you and the rescues u do
I think she is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen on this planet. I can not stand when an animal is abused and there is never any reason for it. I would love to create a home for her with me. I have been looking for a companion that will help me through some injuries and someone I can help by giving them a home. I know a lot of other people are looking at her and wanting to adopt her, and as much as I would love to make her apart of my family, as long as she is healthy and happy I couldn't be happier for this little blessing! Praying for her always! Stay strong beautiful girl! <3
Does anyone have any idea how casey bear is now and where the beautiful girl is?
