This helps Cody's Friends Rescue with pet care costs.
We received an email asking if we would take Oreo into Cody's from a local shelter. He was surrendered by his owner because of "allergies". It is FLEA allergies. He was covered. This poor dog is not only heartworm positive, filthy (had to live outside all of his days) and severely matted on his legs and behind. As you can tell he could not see, and has a large, infected lump on his side. He has been deeply neglected. He was scared out of his mind in the shelter and shut down. After getting him today he is sweet, loving and so very tired. He allowed us to pet all over him. We cut the hair out of his eyes and loved on him. He will be decompressing for awhile and resting and then we begin his health journey. We desperately need a foster. We will need monies too. He is precious and so worth it. He is about 5 years old and 25 lbs but doesn't look it. He is low to the ground. He is great with other dogs. Now that he has been in a foster home we have an update. His skin is much better and healing. He is so happy. We do not think he is 5 years old. We think he is more like 2 years old. He is playful and happy. He had to be completely shaved but will grow back quickly.
