Dear friends and friends of friends...we need your help. Many people (over 330 comments!) commented on the sad, story of General, the crying dog at the Floyd Co. shelter. Here is his original post:
"his name is GENERAL
OWNER DUMPED - HE'S HEARTBROKEN! CRYING LIKE A CHILD!
0293 American Bulldog Mix Medium Adult Male"
General is a very sick dog!!!!!! He was rescued by the London Sanctuary. He has a foster home waiting for him in Fl.
When he was picked up he was too weak to walk!! The rescue although not prepared for the extra big expenses here, is working hard to get General better so he can get to Florida to recover with Jan's loving care. We must raise funds to pay for General's medical care.
Please help General get well and finally get all the love he has cried for!!!!
Any amount you can spare....
General was taken to the vet and was in rough condition. Here is his medical info:
"When General was brought into clinic from Floyd, he was to weak to walk or stand. Had to be carried in.
They started out with oral antibiotics, hoping to keep cost down.
He was not eating originally, nor drinking but has begun to eat a little in the last couple of days.
After he threw up, and it was tinged with blood, they put him on injections of antibiotics which is very costly, according to vet
He has had IV injections under the skin to keep him hydrated
After he had diahrea and threw up again on the third day at clinic, they went ahead and ran bloodwork and did chest xray, as they were trying to avoid that because of the expense
Blood test was normal, xray revealed pneumonia
This means he will likely remain on treatment by injections, which is costly
His boarding will not be the cost of normal boarding, this is considered as hospital boarding, which is far more costly
He is expected to be in this type care for another week, maybe more
Chance of his surviving: Very good with the proper treatment. Young, healthy, not emaciated, HW negative, and he was tested for Parvo and it is not Parvo. "
Here is the vet info:
Mt. Berry Animal Hospital

phone 706-232-0364
Will not take donations, but anyone who donates can be put on a list and if they call in the clinic, the staff there will give them info on General's condition, and once they have an idea what the charge for General is going to be, the staff will tell anyone on that list that calls in the approximate cost of the treatment.
Here is General's Chip-In:
I have no idea why the link says jakes heartworm treatment. All of General's info is on the chip in link. If you would like to send money to the rescue directly, here is that info as well:
