Story
He arrived looking less like a dog and more like a cautionary tale about what happens if you ignore moisturizer for several consecutive lifetimes. Korben was, quite literally, flaking away, like if you took a perfectly good dog and replaced 30% of him with dust and discomfort.But here’s the part that really got us -- On the drive to Animal Aid Society, this 45-pound, pointy-nosed pointer mix, who had every reason to file a formal complaint against the universe, curled up in his transporter’s lap. Just folded himself in there like, “Yes, this seems correct.” And every so often, he’d look up at her with this soft, adoring expression, as if to say, “I assume you're taking me somewhere better, and I've decided to believe in that.”Fast forward a few medicated baths and antibiotics, and Korben has undergone a transformation. The dust is settling, literally, and what’s left is a healthy, 6-year-old, 45-pound bundle of pure, wiggly joy.And the smile. We need to talk about the smile.This dog appears to be smiling at all times. Not in a creepy, “I know something you don’t know” way. More like he's just remembered that life includes snacks, soft beds, and people who think he's wonderful (which, to be clear, he is).Korben is affectionate, snuggly, and enthusiastically committed to the belief that every human and dog he meets is his new best friend. What Korben needs now is a home, preferably one with people who appreciate a dog who'll greet them like they're returning heroes from a long and perilous journey (even if they just went to check the mail).He has already done the hard part: believing things could get better. Now he just needs someone to prove him right.Animal Aid Society is located at 80 Butler Farm Road in Hampton, VA, and visiting hours are from 9am to noon, every single day - including weekends and holidays.Interested?
