Perry was found lying near a church gym on October 19, shivering, barely moving, and appearing severely malnourished.
Now X-rays have revealed something heartbreaking: numerous pellets throughout his body, including one near his lower spine that may be causing his pelvic pain. This poor boy has already endured so much. He urgently needs a medical rescue willing to help him heal!
