My story

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

*Courtesy Post for Oshie's Tail Wagon Rescue & Transport*

This is the story of "Borris" the German Shepherd stray who ended up on the "urgent" list (less than 24 hours to live) at a super-high kill-shelter. Everyone admires how friendly and happy-go-lucky this pup is despite his situation. This album is his work in progress. :)


HISTORY:
10 months old, "Borris" ended up in the city kill-shelter emaciated at only 30 lbs. He was suffering from malnutrition, both sarcoptic and demodetic mange, alopecia, erlichia, tapeworms, and kennel cough. With an army of wonderful volunteers and fosters, he is becoming healthy once again!
