My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Little Lowell, as we have come to call him, had done nothing wrong but be in the hands of someone who abused the privilege of having an animal. He was found in a small kennel on a hot day on May 12, 2014 by the police, abandoned on the city street. He was so filthy that to be within ten feet of him you could smell the horrible odor from his body. His fur was all matted and urine soaked; he was terribly dehydrated. After shaving him down, we found he was starved down to skin and bones. Upon further tests, there were other issues that needed to be addressed as well. It was going to be a long recovery for this little angel.

He recovered from eye surgery. Due to a weak immune system, he had to be treated for a severe fungal infection of the skin. Little Lowell has gained more weight, and with time his hair has grown to a beautiful poof! His strength and enjoyment for life is returning. We so appreciate the donations that have come in for his care. Thank you to all! And now, he is ready to find a new home and family that will love him and take care of him the way he deserves.
