About Angus

Angus is a brave 10-month-old mixed breed who faced a tough start after being rescued with a severe leg injury. Found in mid-July, he was emaciated and fighting an infection, but thanks to the exceptional care from Canton Veterinary Hospital, he is now on the mend. Angus is already zooming around on three legs, full of energy and enthusiasm. At 30 pounds, he's still working to gain necessary weight and needs to add another 10 pounds to reach a healthy size. Since food might seem scarce to him, he's known to gobble up whatever he can find, so a watchful eye is essential. Angus is mastering housebreaking, but he’ll thrive best with a consistent schedule. While we haven't tested him with other animals yet, it's important to understand he may need a patient family willing to support him through his recovery. He is neutered, vaccinated, and eager to form a deep bond with someone who understands that love and loyalty take time to develop. Prepare to enjoy the rewarding challenge that comes with helping Angus reach his full potential. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
