My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Yoda was surrendered after he wandered into the yard of a good Samaritan. Her words:

He was pitiful. We believe he has been dumped. It took over 3 hours to cut the mats off of him. These mats had cuckleburs in them and many of them were pressing into his skin causing sores. He is very emaciated. He, of course, had ticks and fleas. We have been able to get all of the ticks and fleas off of him and we have him eating and he is doing well with that. I believe that he has some sort of upper respiratory infection due to the stuff coming out of his eyes. He is missing a lot of hair and it looks as if maybe his skin has a fungal infection. His eyes look like they may have cataracts. He looks older to me.

***********************************************

We of course said yes. Yoda came into rescue where he was given labs, (Senior panel) fecal (+ for hookworms - treated) and vaccinations, HW test, flea/tick prevention, medicated baths, proheart inj, eye meds, and antibiotics.

after a couple of weeks, it was clear he was better, but still not 'good'. He seemed 'stiff' and in pain.

Back to the vet for sedation spinal xrays, where vet determined possibly invertebrate disk disease. He takes a daily maintenance dose of Carprofen and it helps him.

Yoda has evolved into a gentle loving happy little boy who loves to cuddle.
