Kink is a senior GSP who showed up at an over-crowded kill shelter in southern California with such severely long nails that he was unable to stand up or walk. He was also emaciated and crawling with fleas. He smelled terrible. Kink did have a microchip - but his owners when contacted never showed up for him. He was scheduled for euthanasia that afternoon. Kink has been in our care in rescue for a few weeks now. He CAN walk and loves to canter around our pasture field now his nails have been trimmed. He had a good scrub the night he arrived in foster care, and he stood like a rock for his nail trim. He is a good good dog. Kink gets along great with all the dogs in his foster home - large and small and annoying or not. He is interested in the goats and the pony but does not bark at them. His tail never stops wagging. This is one of the most genuinely nice dogs we have ever had in our care. Kink does have an old left rear leg fracture that was never taken care of, so he is not going to be a good candidate for strenuous exercise. He loves to wander around the yard or the one acre field, and his senior blood panel was 100% perfect. He is house safe and house perfect and goes to the door and actively requests to go out when he needs to potty. He sleeps nine hours at night loose in the kitchen. Kink rides well in the car and is courteous on leash. I cannot stress it enough; this is a good good dog. Kink is in foster care in Clatskanie, Oregon. His adoption fee is $100. to the very right home. And, yes, he does have a kink in his tail. It was the name on his chip, and he does know it. This boy is pure love.
