Mitch

Profile

I have had Mitch for 2 days now and this is a wonderful dog. He was found as a stray and had run out of time at the pound so was picked up by a rescue group who then contacted RAGOM. He was cared for by a volunteer family until he came into our care last Sunday so our thanks to all of those people who loved and cared for this beautiful Golden.

He had his heartworm test this afternoon and it was negative so he had his first dose of Heartgard today. He had his other vaccinations before he left pound. He is 64lbs and he needs to put on some weight as  you can see all his ribs and  his hip bones protrude. He loves his food but no resource guarding at all with people. Other than a few chipped teeth and being underweight he seems to be in great shape.

He has had one bath and have brushed tons of hair off him which he loves. His skin is on the dry side but I don't think it's been exposed to air for quit sometime. He will be getting a medicated bath in a couple of days. I'll send more details and updates in a few days.

We have little or no history on this dog and the vet today estimated his age between 2-3yrs.
