| ~On the way home!~ |
Having been a stray, it was no surprise that Lenny's first exam showed an arms length of medical issues. He'll need surgery to remove 3 "foreign bodies" that thankfully are not causing any obstruction, he has terrible teeth, a problem with a hip that will also require surgery, and he's not neutered.
On the outside, he has multiple sores on his body and both his back feet are skinned up and infected.
And he's painfully thin.
Despite everything medically, Lenny is really a friendly boy, and eager for attention. The plan is for Lenny to stay with us until he regains his health, and gains a few pounds which he'll need before any surgery can be done.
After surgery, Lenny will go to another foster home for his recovery - Lenny is being fed 3 times a day, so it should only be a few weeks. At least that's the plan.
For now, Lenny is being "social distanced" from our dogs while he gets used to being indoors, and gets used to the vibe of our house.
And for now, this "lost boy" that a shelter in Princess Anne, Maryland named Lenny, is safe.

Oh my poor Lenny. He needs some extra loving and food. I am glad he will be under your care for a few weeks. I send him hugs and well wishes. Take care, have a happy Labor Day weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat poor boy. He needs love and attention as well as food and medicine. He has arrived at the perfect place.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Lenny :-)
ReplyDeleteVery good of you to take on poor old Lenny. He sure looks like he needs a lot of TLC.
ReplyDeleteAt least you can see that he has no cracked ribs.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww Kim, I have tears.... half of them are because of his horrendous condition and half of them are because of joy that he was found and is now at your home. The rescuing never ends, does it. Post before last, on my blog, contains another story of a "lost boy". At least two more animals are safe now, eh? Love you and your compassion~ Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh the poor boy - but so glad that he's come to you Kim. We know that he will have all the love, the best care in the world, and the attention he needs, now he's safely at Golden Pines.
ReplyDeletePlease give him an extra hug from me, he looks as though he needs it.
Thank goodness he was found and made his way to you. Poor baby. Give him a kiss from the 24 Paws of Love. We will be praying for Lenny's recovery.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness he found his way to you . . .
ReplyDeleteGolden Girl Kim!
What pain he must have endured!
Hi hi hi! Ojo here! Lenny you are a lucky Dog - you've landed in the right place! You have a very sweet face. We hope you feel better and better all the time!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Golden Pines, Lenny. We know you have had a rough go of it and have a rough road to recovery. But you couldn't have found a better place to do just that. All the best to you.

Lenny is such a sweet boy. We know he will gain weight and thrive at your house. Our paws are crossed for all that Lenny has ahead of him to get healthy.
ReplyDeleteI just have no words, tears ,yes, words, no.
ReplyDeleteSo happy Lenny is safe probably for the first time in his life. If they could only talk. I would be the first to want his story, well second after you. God bless you Kim.
ReplyDeleteDespite his horrible past, Lennie now has a chance. With your wonderful care, I expect to see a different Lennie soon.
ReplyDeleteTime for Lenny to write a new and gushingly happy chapter in his book of life. As for those unknown folks on the east Maryland shore ...!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for shelters that reach out to rescues. We help network gsds in the Los Angeles area (where they seem to be overrun with gsds and have bad shelters that kill a lot of them without any notice). You are a good person.
ReplyDeleteoh Lenny. and still you can smile.
ReplyDeleteyour face says it all. you're safe now boy. get well and be loved. there are human angels caring for you now. xoxo
Poor, poor guy, and to still be sweet after all he's going through! Bless you for taking him in, and we hope he gets healthy and into a good forever home soon. ♥

Poor boy...so sad sure hope he can get all straightened out and get a good home:)
ReplyDeletePoor sweet boy. May he grow strong quickly. Give him a pet from us.
ReplyDeleteI looked at hie eyes and started to cry. Oh, Kim, I don't just mean tear up, I just cried. Then Faith came to check on me, nervously wagging her tail so I had to collect myself. If you weren't so far away, I would adopt him in a minute. Some dogs you just want to love forever.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad he's in good hands now. Bless you.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad he's with you, I know the rest of his life will be happy and healthy as possible.
ReplyDeleteOh, he's been through it all, poor fellow. But he's safe and will be loved from here on!
ReplyDeleteThank God that Lenny has arrived at Golden Pines! He has traveled from heartbreak to hope and happiness. Welcome, dear boy! May your body and heart heal quickly.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kim. Lenny needs you. Thanks for welcoming him.
ReplyDeleteOh Kim, with all that you do, I am honored to have you visit my blog. Thank you. I too cry when I look into Lenny's eyes. To think of the pain and loneliness and hunger he has suffered. He must feel now that he is in heaven, being there with you. You are truly an angel. Thank you for all that you do. The old chocolate lab in your last post look identical to our Cocoa back in the early 1990's. Thank you again.
