Former "Bait" Pit

This poor pitiful fellow has never been shown one ounce of love. He is surprised when someone stops to talk to him. He is overjoyed when someone actually pets him and offers him a comfy blanket to rest his weary bones on. That's about all that is left of him - bones.....and scars on his face and body. He was obviously used as a bait dog. Even after all this, he still befriends everyone who makes a minute for him! In addition to the noticable starvation and skin issues - he is suffering from an absessed tooth! Even with all the pain he must be in, he remains friendly and happy to meet each new visitor that passes through the shelter. Won't you help us help him?

Update: This poor fellow arrived this evening. I have seen a lot of dogs in bad condition but my heart really goes out to this one. He was covered from head to broken toe with fleas. He has a large gaping hole in his face! His sheet was covered with green puss from the discharge. This guy has been through the ringer. Pound Pals would like to thank Nancy U. and her crew at Divine Dog Rescue for sponsoring his kennel. We would also like to thank Nancy J. and her gang at MidCities for helping us transport him in and running the first and second leg of his transport - had he been left without care until Tuesday, he would have died. Special thanks to Vanessa R. for running the third leg of transport on such short notice.

Sunday Morning Update: He made it through the night. If he can hang on long enough to get a few rounds of penicillian down, he may pull through. He is now flea free - at least he has some relief from that. Thanks to Nancy J, he enjoyed a peaceful night's sleep last night - probably the first one in a long time. I would like to meet the person responsible for this dog's condition. I would be glad to give him/her the opportunity to break my toe. I guarantee you I wouldn't have the sweet demeanor this fellow has - bless his sweet furry forgiving heart. If this fellow has a theme song it would have to be "I believe there are angels among us". GOD knows what has kept him alive - let alone blessed him with the courage to have faith in people!
