Wishbone

Lonely & scared, dazed from dehydration and pained by a red, itchy rash all over his body, walked this dog. Thru a gravel pit in Tennessee, with a tow chain around his neck, he was looking for help from anyone. There stood our friend with his dump truck, watching with bewilderment as this weak dog approached him with caution, just staring at his water bottle in-hand. The man immediately poured the water into the dog's mouth as he stood speechless, looking carefully at an emaciated body of blood and scabs standing beside him. He put the dog in the truck and drove him home.

After numerous calls to local rescues without any offers to help, our friend called us asking for advice. He explained the dog suffered from contagious sarcoptic mange and needed on-going bathing treatments, which he could no longer financially provide. He offered to drive the dog to Michigan if we could help him. We were shocked at the condition of the dog that had nothing but love and kisses to give us humans. What monster could let this happen to such a beautiful soul? We immediately followed up with our vet who provided vaccines and injections of medications to help treat the dog.

The dog we named Wishbone looks more handsome as each day passes. Now, he resides in a safe, warm foster home filled with love that we hope will one day make him an official member of their family.
