Reed is a 9-year-old intact male weighing 53 pounds who was recently surrendered in poor condition.
He is severely underweight with a body condition score of 2 out of 9, and presents with hair loss, multiple sores across his body, and live fleas. Despite his discomfort, Reed has allowed all handling and remains gentle with staff.
On exam, Reed shows signs of chronic neglect. His ears are cropped and carry moderate discharge, and his eyes have noticeable tearing. He has moderate dental tartar and gingivitis, and his abdomen is slightly painful on palpation. His limbs show severe structural abnormalities, including metacarpal valgus and elbow varus, which contribute to his abnormal gait and will require lifelong pain management and joint support. He also suffers from severe pododermatitis and mild dehydration.
Due to his fragile state, Reed is not a candidate for neuter surgery at this time.
Now that his investigative hold has been lifted, a plea is being requested to find placement where he can receive the advanced care and comfort he deserves.
Reed is a sweet, resilient dog who needs a safe space to heal and begin a new chapter.
