Dog Rescue Underway!

ArborTech · 03-02-2011, 09:02 PM

Tonight my wife drove four hours up to the coast of Maine to "rescue" a beautiful Newfoundland puppy which is suffering from severe neglect. This dog, which is one of about 15 or so, was hidden while a rescue shelter came and took the rest of the dogs (ranging in age from a few months to a few years old), beacause the owners: were so embarassed by his condition. Our friends own this dogs brother who is the same age, but weighs twice or even two thirds more then what this dog weighs. This gives you an idea of his shape. This dogs is very weak and unable to do much right now.

Though infuriated that someone would do this to a dog, I am happy to have gotten him. We will be bringing him to the vet tommorow to get him assessed and looked over.

I'll keep this going to let people know how he progresses. I can see this will be a long road
