Chewy needs a second chance

Chewy is a Shih Tzu that was surrendered to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue about 3 weeks ago. He came with 2 of the puppies from a litter that were also not wanted. Thankfully the pups went into foster care, but Chewy stayed at the shelter.

At first he was scared and growly, and it was difficult to get the leash over his head as he was on guard to bite at any time. I was not sure what the future held for Chewy in his state. He sat with his head hung low, very unhappy and depressed. His hair, mostly gone on his rear quarters make him even more unappealing!

According to the girl who surrendered Chewy, he was born in 2009--that made him only 2 years old- yet he looked like he was a "old" dog. He was neutered at our clinic in May 2011.

Then a miracle happened -- after about one week the true Chewy came out. Now he dances and prances, and has no more fear. He is a wonderful dog and I am so happy to see the transformation.

He was treated with Revolution and is getting good food. He lives in an outdoor kennel and we are hoping that after the October Clinic someone will take Chewy and he will get a second chance for a forever home.

He will be groomed and bathed at our next clinic courtesy of Julie.
Does anyone think there is a place for Chewy?
