Sweet Old Man
Many senior pets have a hard time in the hottest and coldest months of the year…especially if they are not allowed indoors. This summer, many will experience weakness, sickness, and dehydration, and some will end up in shelters because their owners don’t have enough money to have them vetted.
A New Leash on Life would like to help more of these deserving senior pets by providing foster care and veterinary care for them in their last years or months of life.
George Senior, pictured below, is a prime example of a little, old man who ended up in a kill shelter with many, many health needs. He was dehydrated, un-neutered, deaf, weak, and had an injured leg and an enlarged prostate. And that was just the beginning of his ailments! A New Leash on Life rescued him, had him vetted, and placed him in an approved foster home to begin the best days of his life! He has since been adopted by his foster family and is doing remarkably well with the proper nutrition, vetting, and lots of love!
If you are interested in helping with the New Leash Senior Pet Project, email pets@anewleash.org or call 256.489.PETS. The more volunteers we have on this team, the more sweet, old girls and boys we can help!
