Shelter Dog Is So Grateful

Shelter Dog Is So Grateful

Kong is a four-year-old Border Collie that was captured and brought to a local shelter in Claremore, Oklahoma. Unfortunately, the dog developed a severe skin condition when living on the streets without proper shelter and nutrition. Aside from a complex combination of several painful skin diseases, he was extremely sunburned. Shelter Dog Is So Grateful

The poor pup only had patches of fur, and all his exposed skin was painful when touched. He needed medical care, but the local shelter could not provide that.

Treatment

Thankfully, Border Collie Rescue and Rehab came to his aid. The rescue organization is composed of a network of volunteer foster homes and is based in Prosper, Texas. They took the dog from the shelter and put him in the home of one of their volunteers. At the same time, they took to him to a vet, where he underwent treatment.

Kong was a fighter and very resilient. He responded well to the medication, and his progress was fast. His health improved dramatically, and all that was left was to find him a permanent home.

Grateful

Curtis Hartsell was browsing through the rescue organization’s website when he chanced upon Kong’s profile. According to him, he immediately fell in love with the dog. He got in touch with Kong’s foster mom, and after a short conversation, they determined that they were perfect for each other. So he submitted his application.

The first time they met was a touching moment that perfectly symbolized their relationship. Curtis knelt down to meet the dog when he was handed Kong’s leash. In return, the pooch hugged him and rested his head on his body.

Renamed ZIB, the pup who couldn’t be touched before now can’t get enough of snuggling. He is so grateful for having a new dad that he will always be by his side.
