This little guy came in as a giant matt so we had to get him a big haircut so he feels so much better now. He looks like he might be 3 to 4 years of age. He seems like a very sweet boy who just didn't receive the kind of care a dog he needed to keep him groomed. Since he was a stray, we can't be certain of his level of shedding, but he definitely will need ongoing hair cuts or he will matt. The person who found him did not have him long enough to know his house manners, so he may need extra training. We have a neuter appointment on 11/5 and he has been updated on his vaccinations and microchipped. He does seem to get along with other dogs, but we don't know if he has lived with children or cats. He looks like he may have some Schnauzer in his mixture, but who knows? $300.00 will help us with the cost of his care.
