 ADOPTED!
Pepper wandered up to a gentleman in
Wichita Falls cover in ticks and scabs from fly bites. The man
knew he was a Greyhound and he did not want to turn him into the
Humane Society because he knew they would not try to help him.
So he called Petco, which gave him our phone number. It took 3
baths to remove all his ticks. These pictures were taken about
a week after he arrived into his foster home.
He was taken to the vet where luckily he
does not have heart worms but he did have internal worms and he
tested positive for Ehrlichia. The vet also determined he was
approximately 1 year old and only weighed 40 pounds, with his frame he
should weigh 70+ pounds. It will take Pepper a few months to
get him up his proper weight and to have his hair grow back.

Hoover just turned 5 months on August 8th. He is growing
so fast! Hoover has a problem with his front left leg, where
one of the bones has stopped growing while the other bone is
growing like normal. To be able to keep his leg he will need to
have surgery before he can be adopted. His first surgery is
called a stop-gap surgery. This requires the vet to break
the bone and put in a spacer , this is to help stop the leg from
twisting further. Once he is approximately 9 months old and at
full height he will need a second surgery to complete the
process. Once his surgeries are completed he will be up for
adoption and make someone a wonderful pet. He is a very sweet
and loving boy that is trying to learn his house manners. In
the beginning his leg did not really bother him but the more he
grows the more painful it is becoming for him.
