Chris,

Another heart-wrenching story of animal abuse/neglect but rescues save the day. 
Can't wait to see pictures of the poor baby. How old of a dog and are you going 
to do a chip-in for him?

Being a rescue I have seen a lot of sadness in my time but this one shocked me 
so badly that I almost passed out. This poor boy I took from Kansas City Pet 
Project the new Kansas City Animal Conmtrol is in such bad shape I almost lost 
it. 

It has been five days since they contacted me and asked me if I would take him. 
He needed some vet work done so on Thursday I told them I would take him they 
took him to the vet Friday to get his vetting done for me shots, and exam, they 
called me Saturday and said the boy was in such bad shape the vet said he needed 
to be PTS. Thank goodness they did not listen to the vet and told them he was 
being taken into rescue. It was too late Saturday to get him vetted so the vet 
treated him on Monday and released him this afternoon and I just now brought him 
home. I am going to try to figure out how to post pictures He is almost bald 
from fleas, he is so thin every bone shows, I can put my thumb on one side of 
his tummy area and my fingers across his back and can touch the other side of 
his tummy he is so thin. His front teeth are all broken either someone hit him 
in the mouth several times or he chewed through a metal chain or he has been 
eating rocks, I have never seen such bad teeth before and I have seen a lot of 
horrible mouths coming from puppy mill dogs. I gave him a bowl of kibble and 
after he got through eating I picked up pieces of teeth that broke off off of 
the floor around the bowl. His feet and legs are so twisted up in the front I do 
not know how he walks and gets any where but he does. This boy needs a lot of 
help. I am not even sure if an ortho Dr could fix these legs. I never saw 
anything as bad as his legs before. Well he is safe now inside a cool room with 
plenty of food and water resting. He is heartworm positive, so he needs a lot of 
rest. He has kennel cough, infected eyes and ears, he is a very sickly boy and I 
just want to comfort him and let him know he will be loved here in rescue. He 
has probably never felt love before but he will now. It will be a while before 
he is ready for adoption he will probably be spending a lot of time at the vet 
after he gets past his heartworm treatment.   http://wmbri.org
