Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Oreo Cookie, his transformation is nothing short of a miracle. Cookie lived for 2 1/2 years in a crate completely neglected and living in his own urine and feces. When he was brought to the rescue, we immediately knew his condition was far beyond anything that we could deal with here so we rushed him off to the emergency care hospital. This was the worst case of neglect that we had ever seen. He was immediately sedated and the team worked on him for 6 hours. They removed 4 pounds of crusted urine and feces from his little body. When he woke up, he bit bit everyone in sight! When we picked him up the next morning, we didn't even recognize him! His little tail was wagging as they told us to be very cautious but we knew there was hope! We brought him home to let him settle into his new environment. He had never had freedom and all he knew about humans was what they had done to him in the past. It took about 2 weeks for his playful wonderful personality to emerge and we knew he was going to be just fine! He is now the most loveable playful little guy that you will ever meet! He has been neutered and vaccinated. He is also heart worm negative and microchipped. We have before pics and videos upon request but they are too graphic to post here. "Cookie" is now ready for his own forever family, could that be you?
