Story
Meet Igor (AKA Iggy)! Iggy came to us as a 10 to 12-week-old puppy back in March. At that time, we weren’t sure if he would make it or if he might lose one of his back legs. He had numerous bite wounds in various stages of infection and healing. (There’s a graphic picture on our Dogs of Del Norte County FB page after his first major surgery.) But Iggy is a true example of resilience. After multiple surgeries, daily debridements requiring sedation, bandages sutured to his skin, and wearing a cone for six months, he battled infections and allergies. He endured daily medications and several weekly medicated baths. Through it all, Iggy never lost his spirit. Iggy is now almost a year old, and weighs 59 lbs. He is dog & kid friendly and loves all the toys. Iggy thrives as the center of attention when he attends adoption events and has amazing radar ears!
A fundraiser was started when he arrived, and thanks to donations from our followers and the Humane Society of Del Norte covering the remaining balance of his vet bill, this young pup and his leg were saved! Iggy is now ready for adoption.
Iggy is allergic to flea bites/saliva, so he’ll need to stay on long-acting oral flea medication. He’s currently on Credelio, which costs $125 for six months. He’ll also need a couple of baths a month with Viomiox, available on Amazon for about $40 for a 6-8 month supply.
There are videos and additional photos of Iggy on our Dogs of Del Norte County FB page.
Iggy was chosen to participate in Del Norte Humane Society's Prison Paws Partnership (PPP)! PPP is a 6-8 week program of training for the selected dogs and their inmate handlers at Pelican Bay State Prison. The dog participants are available for adoption through the Humane Society at the completion of the program. If you are interested in Iggy, please contact Del Norte Humane Society!
