walked outta the house this morning to see a dog barely walking down the street. I got close enough to tell that he was in bad bad shape. he had a little mange, irritatioin on his neck from being tied up improperly and was all skin and bones. you could see his spine and all his ribs. he looked like a shar-pei mix. my first thought was that he was the loser in a dog fight and someone had dumped him. I was so fucking pissed. how can anyone treat their animal this way.
after about an hour of coaxing (including food) i managed to get him in the car and off to animal control. He was so scared it took a long time before he'd even let me approach him. And he was so weak that he was stumbling around trying to avoid human contact. It fucking broke my heart to leave him there but i can't afford to have him treated at a regular vet or keep him where i live. I got his ID number and plan on checking in on him. He's gonna be held for medical treatment for about 5 days. And hopefully after that he'll be put up for adoption. So if anyone has the room for a dog that's been down on his luck check, out the SF animal control center. thanks.
