Christmas wishes come true for little Zeke

It's Christmas Eve at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue and I want you to meet Zeke. A little brindle shep/terrier mix- about 12 weeks old.

This little guy came on December 1st after he was found by Avis at the Redby garbage dump. He had mange, starvation --both prenatal and neonatal-- and was dehydrated.

For the next 23 days Zeke was kept in an outdoor kennel, alone, being treated for mange. As Zeke began to get good nutrition, he began to develop rickets,which is not uncommon with puppies here. When starved puppies get food, their bones begin to grow, but they grow unevenly. The good news is that they WILL straighten out. (See Bart the Dumpster Dog on Facebook who had similar symptoms)

Zeke got his Christmas wish today and he will be leaving for Coco's Heart Rescue on Thursday, December 27th to a foster home.

A very bitter cold with windchill has arrived so Zeke moved in the cathouse tonight and is nice and warm. Thank you Avis, Tom, Nancy, John, and Coco's Heart for helping little Zeke!
