Update - 6/24/07: New pics! Preston now has a full, silky soft coat. He has put on quite a bit of weight, and his frame no longer looks too large for his weight. He is a BIG boy!
Preston has been in rescue for several months, but the right home has still not come along for him. If you think it might be yours, please click the link below and fill out an application to begin the adoption process. While he is very happy in his foster home, he'd love to have a family to call his won!
Update - 4/4/07: As you can see by the new pics to your right, Preston is looking and feeling much better! He has completely recovered from mange, and has new hair growing in nicely. He was neutered last week, and is now ready for his forever home!
Preston is a large, goofy boy who just wants to play and be loved on all the time. He loves to play with the other dogs in his foster home (particularly Ginny!), and is wonderful with children. He has gained quite a bit of weight, and could stand to gain a few more pounds. We estimate his ideal weight would be between 90 - 95 pounds.
Meet Preston! preston is a very sweet, affectionate 4 year old male GSD. He was rescued from a shelter when his time ran out, and is now living it up in his foster home!
Preston has sarcoptic mange. We were not aware of this until the day we picked him up. He was immediately started on treatment for this, and is doing much better. It will take a while for all his hair to grow back, but he's much more comfortable than he was. Due to the mange, Preston has not been introduced to any other dogs yet, but we see no reason with his personality that he won't do fine with them. More will be posted about Preston once he's non-contagious and can come out of quarantine.
Preston is utd one routine vaccinations, flea/tick prevention and heartworm prevention. He has been microchipped, and will be neutered within the next couple of weeks.
