Senior dog deserves a chance to live pain-free

Posted on Jan. 29, 2021Oct. 3, 2025

Donate to Help

By the time Wrigley arrived at the Animal Rescue League, he had been in pain for a very long time.

His ears were raw, inflamed and filled with discharge from raging ear infections. They throbbed and ached constantly. He’d been suffering for so long that the inflammation had permanently damaged the insides of his ears, making it harder to cure any infection.

Donate to Help

We started him on an aggressive course of treatment to relieve his pain and help him heal. But sadly, after more than two months in our care, our veterinarians have determined that his ears are so damaged that he needs major surgery to rid him of his infections and improve his quality of life.

This senior boy with the gray muzzle and soulful eyes has been a wonderful patient so far, and he deserves a chance to finally live pain-free.

Donate to Help

Your donation to our Miracle Medical Fund will help give Wrigley a chance at a better life and your monthly gift will help him now and through his long recovery and allow us to continue to be here for him and other pets like him who come to us suffering with nowhere else to turn.

Donate to Help

Wrigley deserves this chance, but we can’t do it without you. Please give today to give him hope and show him that no matter what suffering he has lived through, there are better days ahead.

P.S., When you donate today or enroll in our Loyal Friends Club monthly giving program, you’ll be automatically enrolled to receive exclusive updates on Wrigley’s progress.
