On medical hold - "???"

On medical hold- ??? (to be named) is a 5 to 7 year old sable female. She was found wandering by a nice family that took her in.She was extremely dehydrated and emaciated. She weighed only 5 pounds! They kept her for a while and then turned her over to a shelter. A foster family for the shelter took great care of her, and she now weighs 10 pounds. The shelter turned her over to Sheltie rescue so we could treat her for heartworms. She will be starting the treatment in 2 weeks. She is shy but really working hard to build her trust in people. She is crate trained and working on getting housebroken. For more information, contact Kim at kimfike@bellsouth.net .
