My Name is: Presley, 3.5 years old
My Story: Since I hadn’t seen much of the world outside the breeding facility, everything was scary so I just sort of shut down, so I didn’t have to deal with anything. I was dirty, my skin and coat were a mess, I had ear infections, sore joints, and was 20+ pounds overweight at 100 pounds. I didn’t feel very good. I needed both medical and emotional care, and Safe Harbor provided me with both. The vets at Alameda East Veterinary Hospital prescribed medications to help me feel a lot better. My foster mom and her dogs lifted my spirits, took me swimming and on ‘pack walks’ through the horse pasture; another volunteer would just hang out with me. And do you know what? One day we were all surprised to see my tail wagging and looking rather trim. Life is looking a lot better!
