Lost Dog Looking for Owner

Lost Dog Looking for Owner

 Bloomfield, Missouri - FOUND 6/1/17 in Stoddard County, 5 miles south of Bloomfield, address Essex. Please share this dog's photos with your vet offices in the area of Dexter, Advance, Poplar Bluff, Sikeston.

We believe the dog had an owner who loved HIM. He is neutered, age 8-10, has had a dental as he has no bad buildup of tartar. He is HEARTWORM NEG and NEG for any tick disease. His fecal was NEGATIVE too.

Someone did love him until recently when they let his flea allergy get out of hand and let him get thin. He was also matted on the face as shown in a couple photos.

We wonder if an owner ended up in a care facility or has died and family did not want the old loyal and somewhat needy pet.

Right now he weighs 14 pounds, should be around 16 pounds. We are unsure if he is a brindle or had dark brown fur around his torso. He is missing so much fur we can not tell for sure. However his skin had dark stripes.

What a LOVER this guy is! ! ! Patient too. Once I showed him a crate and fed him in that crate, he would go to lay in that crate when I walked out of the family room and shut the gate. Good memory retention, knows a ROUTINE like he had a routine in another home.

YOU don't want your pet? Ask for help to post it to find a home or another rescue if we don't have room. Please don't do to a pet what it appears was done to this boy...

Someone knows whose dog this was.

We are actively looking for a home for him NOW! Foster to adopt after a 5 day hold.

NOTE: a SERESTO COLLAR made by the BAYER CO is what I use to keep fleas off of the dogs that come here with flea allergies. He received a DEPO shot today to quickly stop the itchy skin so he can start to heal and NEXGARD to kill the baby seed ticks and remaining fleas. In three weeks we will put on a SERESTO collar and he will remain comfortable for less than $10 a month for at least 8 up to 10 months. Bayer also makes the ADVANTAGE MULTI topical for flea prevention which also de-worms three gut worms.

Update photos tomorrow of his visit at the vet. These photos taken by young Mason Miller of the Bloomfield - Essex area, grandson of Mary Gilooly, the VERY Good Samaritans who searched for someone to help this little guy today. They did not turn their backs on this needy little guy.
