Crusty was surrendered to a shelter when his owner did not have the funds to properly take care of him. He was emaciated and completely bald with a very treatable and non-contagious affliction called Demodex. He is about as close to a complete angel as a dog can be. You will sense the very second you meet Crusty, now renamed Hero that to be with him is to be bathed in love. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a spiritual experience. Hero has endured two medicated baths per week, treatment of antibiotics and is now just about healed. His hair will take another few months to completely grow back. Hero is housebroken, leash-trained, good with other dogs, cats, kids, does not bark a lot or do destructive chewing. He doesn't jump up on people and adores every person he meets. Great potential for a therapy dog!! Great as a family dog or for a senior. He is lower energy and would be very happy as a couch potato. Hero is HW negative, dewormed, treated for fleas, has had a complete bloodwork, neutered and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $325.
