Shorty! 🧸 Are adorably cute senior bears your thing? Well, meet Shorty! This handsome 10 year old American bully/pitbull boy is ready to find his home or a foster!
Shorty is 84 pounds and has quite the story to tell. We met Shorty only a few months ago when Shorty was found by our humane officer friend outside in a small enclosure....where he lived for the last 10 years (yes, you read that right! 10 years!). Shorty's skin was a mess, and he was heartworm positive.
One of our TRI fosters saw Shorty and knew this lug needed a chance! Shorty moved to foster care and has been blossoming into the handsome, lovely guy we know him to be today. Shorty underwent heartworm treatment and he is doing great! He also is now neutered. His skin looks 100% better. Shorty is a senior and has arthritis, but x-rays show he's in overall good health. We have him on Dasuquin and other supplements to support his joints.
Shorty's teeth are ground down from his years outside gnawing at hard inanimate objects, so he gets water added to his dog food to help him eat. Shorty's favorite dogs toys now are soft cloth toys and it warms our heart to see him playing.
Living outside for 10 years takes it toll. Shorty is afraid of fire, lighters and water hoses.
Shorty is very smart and has already learned some commands. Shorty knows "sit" and is working on "wait."
