We’ve waited for this transformation and here it is!

We truly all believe if we didn’t step in to help that this dog would have surely died. Hero is 5 years old and was found running as a stray in Indiana. He ended up in a shelter who didn’t have the funds to vet him and they asked us to take him. We did as he needed help right away.

Hero is a Great Pyrenees mixed dog. When he arrived in rescue he weighed 48 pounds and you could feel his spine and ribs. When rescued he was a mess– both ears were terribly infected and he had a bad sore on his nose, most likely from rubbing on a wire cage and more worms in his poo than poo. To top it all off, he was heartworm positive and has spent this past 5 months undergoing treatment for heartworm. He had to remain quiet, cage bound, without play. He goes back to the vets on April 9th for his all clear–and we hope he’ll be ready to go to his forever home immediately after.

Get your applications in right now! Hero gets along with the dogs in his foster home. He is housebroken and will need a physical fenced yard since he was found as a stray.

Coming from skin and bones, he now has a beautiful coat and weighs 83 pounds thanks to his amazing foster family.
