UPDATE: On Thursday, 1-12, Trevor made a dramatic turn for the worse. It was becoming painfully evident that his wounds were not healing as the doctors had hoped that they would. The tissue was dying off at an alarming rate. The wounds on his body were so extensive and they were growing everyday as the skin died off. The doctors compared him to burn victim. It is expected that some skin die off, but Trevor's was dying off much faster and furious than they have hoped. If he were to survive, Trevor would have faced multiple painful reconstructive surgeries. These would have been increasingly challenging as there is not much healthy skin on his body to take grafts from. All of the skin on the top of his head from his forehead to back behind his ears was dying and falling off. He was literally losing all the skin on the top of his head. He also developed a temperature and the blood test results revealed that he had 3 bacteria in his blood stream. The concern of sepsis was greater than ever. Trevor's body was just not handling the extreme trauma that it endured. If Trevor was able to survive, his chances for returning his body to a pain free state was very low, and the surgeries and skin grafting to try to help his survive would have been excruciatingly painful . Trevor was receiving the best of care from Grayslake Animal Emergency and Treatment Center. He was on the strongest pain meds possible, feeding tubes, fluid, lots of antibiotics and a daily procedure to clean and tend to his wounds. Despite this, with the gentle guidance of three very caring doctors at the clinic, the decision to end his suffering was made. The outpouring of love and support for Trevor has been heartwarming. We greatly appreciate all of those who have reached out to help Trevor. This story does not have the ending that we wanted, but we can learn from Trevor's positive attitude even after all he endured. He has touched me deeply and I will never forget his kind, gentle, forgiving nature. I know he felt the love that was being poured out to him. The harsh reality is that even though Trevor is gone, PP still must cover the cost of the care that he received. If you would like to donate In Loving Memory of Trevor to help cover his costs and help us get other dogs like Trevor out of overcrowded animal control facilities so that this will not happen again please go to our website www.placingpawsrescue.org. All of us at Placing Paws send out a sincere heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported Trevor. We will see him at the Rainbow Bridge.

Trevor is a young beautiful lab mix that we committed to take from a rescue worker in Missouri last week. He was awaiting transport to us at an animal control facilty when he was viciously attacked by another dog. He was immediately taken to a vet for treatment and then transferred to an ER clinic for the weekend. Trevor sustained 2 broken ribs, a broken leg complicated by massive tissue damage, he has multiple bite wounds all over his body, torn ears and a huge open wound on his chest. He ultimately may have to have his damaged leg amputated to give him the best quality of life and the best chance at a speedy and successful recovery. Trevor was able to be transported to us January 9th
thanks to many volunteer drivers.
He is now at Animal Emergency and Treatment Center in Grayslake where he will be examined by a specialist so they can determine the best course of treatment.
Through it all Trevor continues to wag his tail and will
give kisses to anyone he can. 
He has an amazing spirit and will to survive. He is the sweetest dog you will ever meet and he is so young,
he deserves a chance at a happy healthy life.
We need to raise funds to help cover the cost of his care. Donations can be made through the Paypal link below.
Trevor will also need a foster home to recover in and ultimately a FOREVER family.
If anyone is interested in fostering
please let us know.
