I'm sure one day we will get to call him Big Stan, but not just yet...
So Bianca and I went down to the city animal control, to look at a particular dog and if nothing else we where gonna sponsor the adoption fees for a couple dogs....
well this guy rounded the corner on a leash, just coming from getting his shots. My wife leaned over to pet him as he went by and this guy leaned into her like a long lost buddy. Right then I knew what was gonna happen... That was yesterday. These pics are from then.
he was picked up as a stray, right out from of animal control. Obviously he has been on the street for a while.
Hes got a lot of issues beyond just being skinny, more on all that later.
We start off with 30 min of tick removal.
Everyone seems to be getting along fine, after an initial bunch a noise...
since we got him from the shelter they had to fix the poor @@@@@@@ before he could go. Of course he has not been washed since they got him off the street, so now we have to wait a while more to really clean him up. I would have rather cleaned him up and got some meat on his bones first, but we are where we are.
He is also heart worm positive, so we get to deal with that right off.
Hes got more scars than me tail to nose. I knew we had to bail him out since everyone would just see a beat up dog and its a kill shelter.... I look at him and I can see the dog he was born to be and the dog he will be, with a little work.
hang in there Stan we got ya buddy!
