Pablo (A240090) was found emaciated, dehydrated, and surrounded by feces in a car reeking of urine. He had no food or water, the windows were rolled shut in full sun, and his “owner” was in a pet-friendly hotel room near-by. No one in his or her right mind does this to a dog but not everyone is capable of being a responsible dog owner.
Pablo has been nursed back to health gaining 10.5 lbs. in the first 12 days at the Shelter. Staff and volunteers have been amazed by his willingness to learn to trust. He is very engaged with people, plays well with other dogs and is proving to be a champion snuggler! He will need a patient and kind someone to help him continue to grow into the good dog he so wants to be.
