A rescue dog waiting more than 600 days for a forever home stepped up to save another animal's life this week. Staff at the Humane Society of Adams County, #Ohio answered an urgent call from Adams County Veterinary Services, who needed a large, healthy dog to provide an emergency blood donation for a critically ill patient. Shelter workers selected Tatum, an American Bulldog & Pit Bull Terrier Mix, one of the facility’s largest and healthiest residents, to answer the call. According to shelter officials, Tatum handled the procedure calmly and with poise, providing the vital transfusion needed to help the ailing patient fight for survival. Tatum has lived at the Humane Society of Adams County for 615 days and remains available for adoption.
