At this time it is not known if this dog escaped and couldn't find any food to eat or if he was neglected. My dog friend Glady's companion Heather just posted on facebook about this dog that was found starving on the border of Warwick and Cranston, RI. Either way, it highlights the good work done by the shelters, and the compassion of the good Samaritan that found the dog and cared enough to put him in their car and go for help. The vet has examined the dog and he is heart-worm negative, but Lyme disease positive. The shelter has started giving him treatments for Lyme disease. The rest of the results of his blood work will be back in a few days. He is currently eating the food the shelter has provided and resting.
If you are not able to care for your pet, please call your local animal shelter or Humane Society to find out what help is available.
Support Animal Shelters!
Animal shelters are great places for you to find a sweet, temperament-tested friend for your family. My bothers Toby (RIP) and Amaretto were adopted from shelters. Shelters also need your donations to help them provide for the pets in their care. Helping the shelters and the animals that live at the shelters will really make Sahara Smile!
