Meet Kipper who had a terrible past. Kip was rescued from unpleasant conditions by some very unpleasant people in Alexandria Egypt. From what we know is that Kipper was being abused and deprived of food, water and love.

When he was finally rescued by Stray Dog Support, he was filthy and covered in fleas and ticks. His eyes were covered with mud and flies were all over him. He was so thirsty that he went through bottles of water so he must have been so dehydrated and just hot because temperatures were soaring there.

Kipper's fur was so bad that the rescue had to shave it off and it took days for the staining on his feet to start to fade.

We can only imagine how much he suffered and how sad and uncomfortable he was. Kip is young, around 1 to 1.5 years old and he is now absolutely stunning as you can see in a recent photo. He is coming to us from the rescue to find a good home in the US where he will never suffer again. Kipper arrived to the US on March 29th and went directly into a foster-to-adopt home. Foster mom says Kipper (mow Naji) is safe and doing great! Naji means "survivor" in the Egyptian language. He has had a bath, his first pup cup, a fresh new bed and a yard to play ball. He is super tired from his long journey but is happy and thriving ❤️"
