    There are several somewhere but the search function is busted and I can't find them. Here's one....DSCF5692.jpg

    He was a mess - open sores, flea infestation from hell, ear infections, parasites - you name it. In only 2 months he's made a full recovery. He's amazing.

    Drake sure is a beautiful dog, 10-K. Always respectable to find the rescue dogs!

    Sometimes the challenge with the rescues is not their health, but their temprament? How is he adjusting to a stable home life?

    Wonderful. It brings tears to my eyes to think how great it is to rescue animals. I have had 5 total so far. I love the new bumper stickers I have seen lately "Who Rescued Who?" That says it all. Thanks for sharing.

    Beautiful and wonderful and probably a pretty grateful companion may be the first time he has had love and compassion from someone. Great story.

    Thumbs up Congratulations

    He looks great 10k!
    In my opinion it takes a very special person that is willing to do the work (and spend the money) required of a rescue parent.

    Big thumbs up to the whole 10k family!

    The vet estimates between 5 and 7. Since his teeth are ground down to knubs she said it's hard to get a good guess of how old he is.
