Name: Unknown
Age: Unknown, but his
good samaritan believes he is young given that his teeth are white
Breed: Heeler/Blue
Tick Hound Mix
Sex: Male (not altered)
Location: Hot Springs, AR
Vet Info: This sweet
fellow has not been vetted. He weighs about 25 pounds.
Owner Info: This sweet
fellow was a stray who spent more than a month on a local highway by a
neighborhood. A good samaritan has taken him in, but her own dogs are not
accepting him, and she is not able to keep him. She is desperately hoping
for rescue for this sweet boy. She has had him for two days. His good
samaritan told us more about his sight. "He does not see food
when placed in front of him, but when his nose finds it he will ravenously eat.
The eyesight problem is one that I noticed, it has not been formally diagnosed."
When he was first saved, he was flea and tick infested. She's
treated him for fleas and ticks, and he is healing, but he still has a lot of
scabs. He also loves being brushed! This sweetheart is an outdoor dog
with a fenced yard, but is also kept in the laundry room as it is too hot for
him outside. His good samaritan tells us he seems to be housebroken, and
whines when he needs to go out. He has not yet had an accident
inside. He is not leash trained. He is described as skittish and
shy, and very good with women! His good samaritan didn't check that he's
good with other dogs, and she gave us more details: "...He seems to really
really like me. He will accept food from my husband but he really
responds to my voice and comes when I put my hand out. I
have not exposed him to my dogs. He has been out on the deck and
they see him from inside and go berserk. He runs in fear. That's
why I said he's not good with other dogs." He is not possessive of toys, treats,
or food, and in the time he's been with his good samaritan, he's never bitten
or snapped. She writes that he is "very very afraid".
His good samaritan wants us to know that she's grateful for our help.
" I so appreciate your help. He needs a good home and
as much as he would like me to be the one to provide it, I just plain
can't....."
