"Charlie"
---
When First Rescued ---
Found
laying in the street with serious injuries,
he
was taken to the animal shelter (NY CACC) but not claimed by owner.
Injured
too badly to be adopted, LILRR was contacted
to
save his life and secure his welfare.
These
pics were taken March 1998 during rehab ...
he
was a sweet, happy and patient patient ;)

Charlie
required immediate veterinary attention for an abraded neck and throat and
multiple breaks in the right hind leg. After several months of
recuperation within Rescue foster home, he was lovingly adopted. Charlie
began chewing the end of his tail to the bone very soon after adoption.
Adopter's vet suggested a special diet and varying prescriptions, but nothing
worked for 7 months. Afraid for his welfare, Charlie was returned to LILRR
for indepth medical assessment and rehab... |
|
Because
Charlie had not chewed the tail during
the 6 months of
rehab, we decided to start
fresh - replicate the environment as when fostered
after rescue. Prescriptions were ceased and his diet was returned to PHD
... now we would wait
and carefully monitor for
reaction...

Charlie
stopped chewing his tail immediately and after a full 12
month assessment, we can safely attest his tail is nibbled on at times - usually when laying
idle or during a moment of excitement but the tail hair returned and remained!
The tail base issue likely derives from spine/muscle/nerve sensitivity resulting from
his street injuries. |

Charlie"
DOB

This
handsome chocolate male is healthy, playful, well behaved, housebroken,
and very
people oriented. He gets along with other dogs and loves to entice dog
play
with booda ropes and balls. Charlie requires a family with quality
home time
or
someone who can take the lucky dog to the office.
Charlie may
be an excellent candidate for therapy dog training.
Charlie
LOVES belly rubs!
