Hi Sylva,

Hoping you might direct me to someone who can help this boxer mix.  He is a unneutered adult male that, they say, weighs 30 lbs.  It is obvious he has been on his own for a while.  He is underweight and we just had a vet see him.  He has a treatable case of mange.  He also has bloody diarrhea that the vet says is diet related.  I took chicken and rice to the shelter and they have been feeding him that for 2 days.  The vet prescribed medication for the mange.  He was a stray that was pooping wood pieces when he first came in.  He has a tear in his left ear.  This poor guy has been through it.  When I walk him he is great.  When I sit on the park bench he jumps in my lap and kisses my face. 
 
The AC officer said he was considering putting him down.  Although he is not suffering in any way, the AC officer said there is no reason to prolong the inevitable.  With no interest in him at this time, he feel the condition of his coat will keep anyone from adopting him.
 
If you can help me in any way with leads, I would appreciate it.  I  know we can't save them all.  I just need to know I did everything I could for this deserving dog.
 
Thanks, Vicki
