When Domino arrived at Greenville Humane Society, he had a gunshot wound so severe that rescuers could feel his ribs through the opening.
The young Dalmatian had been found wandering alone in South Carolina with a nearly 6-inch-deep wound in his shoulder and fragments of buckshot embedded throughout it.
Thankfully, the blast had missed the bones in his leg, giving him a chance to recover without losing it.
For weeks, Domino received intensive medical care, including wound cleanings, pain management and multiple bandage changes every day. And while he healed, the humane society's CEO took him home to foster.
That's when things took an unexpected turn.
Domino fit right in with her family, made himself comfortable with the other dogs and became a regular visitor at the shelter. His foster mom fell so completely in love with him that she decided to adopt him!
Now, Domino is officially 100% recovered, has a new name — Chief — and an important new title: Chief Executive Doggo of Greenville Humane Society. ❤️
He even has his own name tag and a spot on the shelter's staff page. From fighting for his life to running the place, Chief has come a very long way.
