My wife picked him up and took him home. He was so HAPPY to be out of the pound and to have food, water and a cool place to hang. This puppy was in need of help though. He had been a homeless puppy in the middle of the Phoenix summer. He was all skin, bones, sores and ticks... and only a little bit of hair.
but HAPPY to have a home!
Here you can see just how much hair loss he had and some of his sores.
We bathed him, put frontline on him for ticks and picked up some puppy food and began feeding him generously. I also picked up some antibiotic spray to clean his wounds and sores. It turned out to be a very effective way to train him and help the sores! Whenever he did something wrong, I would spray one of his wounds. He hated it!!! (poor guy) Jayden is SMART and eager to please. I could almost see his brain working, trying to figure out what he needed to do to make us pleased with him and once he did, he never did that bad thing again.
Because of this he was quickly house trained and fairly well behaved (for a puppy).
More on his recovery in the next post!
