Adopt a Rottweiler (medium coat)
Duke the Dog needs a home
Duke arrived early 2-5-18 with a wonderful dispostion, despite what he has been thru. He is very underweight, has white circles around his eyes, the ends of his ears bald and some bald patches on his body. He loves life, he loves toys and he loves people. For 6 months at the shelter he was in a 4x4 kennel with 7 other dogs. So he is obviously good with other dogs. No wonder he has mange.
2-9-18 Dukes eyes are no longer white, I can see some weight gain and he continues to be happy and I can see his stress diminishing. He self entertains himself with his toys and plays with them nicely. He takes treats nicely and just wants to be loved on, he just closes his eyes as he is being petted.
Duke has Erlichia which is a tick borne illness. 3-4 weeks of Doxycycline should clear this up nicely.
Duke has been at the shelter since August when picked up as a stray and has developed Demadex mange which is not contagious. I am sure this has been caused by stress with his long term housing at an overcrowded shelter.
He will be available when he is healthy. In the meantime we will asses his dispostion and update his bios.
