As if being stung by thousands of bees wasn’t already bad enough, he was abandoned at a shelter after the incident by his family.
The deaf Pit Bull, subsequently dubbed Stinger by rescuers, came at the shelter covered in life-threatening blisters all over his body.
As they couldn’t treat a dog in this bad of condition, they planned on euthanizing him.
That’s when Carri Shipaila, who operates LuvnPupz rescue in Greater Grand Rapids, MI, stepped in to help. As soon as she heardaout Stinger, she hopped in her car and drove nearly an hour to take him up from the shelter.
Regrettably, his family declined to take him, so she immediately began to work to save Stinger’s life. They treated his stings, as well as a subsequent skin infection and sarcoptic mange.
Unfortunately, he wound up having Pemphigus, an autoimmune illness, which he will suffer for the rest of his life.
Because of the costs of his care, he will never be up for adoption, but he did find a loving forever home with a foster and will continue to receive care and therapy from LuvnPupz.
Stinger has come such a long way from when he first was dumped at the shelter. His painful blisters have finally healed and he has a gorgeous white coat.
He is such a lively, loving dog and is enjoying his new life in a loving home!

On a serene afternoon, the cries of a puppy broke the stillness, echoing from the depths of a deep ditch by the side of the road. These plaintive pleas for help reached the ears of a passing motorist, who couldn’t ignore the call of a soul in need.
As the rescuer approached the ditch, they were met with a heart-wrenching sight—a tiny, shivering pup, barely a few weeks old, trembling with fear and loneliness. It was clear that this vulnerable being had been abandoned and left to fend for itself in this unforgiving world.
Without hesitation, the rescuer extended a hand of hope and love. They gently lifted the puppy from the depths of the ditch, cradling it close to their heart. The puppy’s cries of despair soon turned into whimpers of relief, as if it knew it had found a guardian angel.
The journey to healing and recovery had begun. The puppy’s cries for love and attention were met with a shower of affection, as if it knew it had found an everlasting source of warmth and security. Gradually, but surely, the puppy’s fear began to recede, replaced by the blossoming of trust and companionship.
Days turned into weeks, and the once-lonely puppy was transformed. It learned to play, to wag its tail in joy, and to offer unconditional love in return for the love it had received. The puppy’s cries of desperation had been replaced by the song of happiness and the enduring power of human kindness.
Today, the once-lonely puppy is a vibrant, happy, and thriving dog, a living embodiment of the boundless potential for transformation and the enduring strength of the human-animal bond.
