Weldon Barks Again


Weldon's previous owner kept his mouth tied shut. Weldon has a scar around his muzzle and up under his chin. His tongue is deformed from this abuse. It is all wrinkled up. Weldon arrived in July (took Gordon's old spot). When folks come and go, our other dogs greet them by barking with excitment or bid them farewell in sync.....everyone that is except Weldon. Weldon sat quietly, taking in the other dogs, listening to their barks of glee and noticing that nobody's mouth was ever tied shut nor were they scolded for communicating using dog language (barking). Finally, Weldon felt trusting enough to let out a welcome bark! Much to his delight, he went unsilenced and unpunished. Instead, he was rewarded with a large Milk Bone! Now, Weldon cuts loose whenever he pleases and our hearts leap for joy with each note he hits. Weldon is heartworm positive. If you would like to sponsor his treatment, please let us know. Weldon is being placed in foster care while he undergoes his HW treatment. He will not be available for adoption for awhile but true love is always patient. If you feel Weldon is the dog for you, please complete and return an adoption application which can be found at http://poundpals.cfsites.org/index.php Then be prepared to wait until Weldon is released from his medical hold.
