Henry has endured immense pain due to neglect and deserves a second chance. He was found with a swollen head from a deeply embedded collar.
A collar that was likely put on when he was a puppy became torture as he continued to grow but the collar did not. Over months of neglect, it buried itself into his flesh as he grew — and no one had cared enough to notice or help. Until one day a good Samaritan saw him and came to his rescue.
He was rushed to a local rescue, Save A Pet Rescue Adoption and Transport for care.
For so long he has been suffering in silence with no way to free himself. Every breath hurt and reminded him how badly he had been failed. However, he never gave up hope and greeted his rescuer with a wagging tail.

Due to the restricted blood flow and accumulation of blood and fluid in his swollen head he needed emergency surgery for his best chance at survival.
The collar needed to be removed but carefully as he was at risk of extreme hemorrhaging or shock since the skin has grown over the collar.
A veterinarian carefully removed the collar and began to treat the deep wounds left behind on his neck.
