Valley of the Sun Giant Schnauzer Rescue decided to take this little mini schnauzer mix who as found as a stray in Yuma, AZ. He arrived in Phoenix on Friday around noon. When I got him home, I had to bathe him immediately because he smelled so awful. You would have smelled bad if you had feces caked to your bottom too!!
After a lot of shampoo, Scruffy was clean. He tolerated the blow dryer well and went immediately to the grooming table. He is quasi groomed now and free of all of the mats and dirt that clogged his very being. He walks funny and I think he is much older than his five years that he was supposed to be. He teeth look awful but he is tottering less than he was and will almost play. I think he is going to need a quiet home with lots of loving. Luckily he is already neutered so he won't have to endure that surgery but he may have to have some other things checked out.
For now sad schnauzer Scruffy is beoming a happier camper and he will totter around the yard and get a little bit stronger day by day. Then on Tuesday he will go in and be evaluated health wise to see what his condition actually is.
But he is as cute as he can be and a very mellow fellow who is happy where ever he is.
