A lost soul no more. Meet Kanga
August 19, 2022 | 10:42amA lost soul no more. Meet Kanga
His body hurts all over, he makes our heart ache.
We've said it several times now, but this has been a brutal summer for animals. You won't believe your eyes when you see the soul that just joined our family.
As we took pictures of his poor, aching body, we all gasped. Yes, we've seen many dogs come in with horrible mange over our 25 years, but haven't seen a case this bad in years.
His skin looks like stone as he is completely hairless, except for a strip of black hair across the top of his body. He has open, bleeding wounds, crusty skin, and long nails. His skin appears striped, almost like a zebra. No one has cared about him in a very long time.
In the last few years, we rescued a dog named Eeyore that horrible mange. Then this spring, a dog we named Winnie. We thought it fitting to name this sweet boy Kanga, as a part of the "Winnie the Pooh" family.
His body, the stripes...
His tail and legs...
His ears....
His open wounds and sores...
His legs...
So skinny, his protruding and arthritic hips...
His eyes. His deafeated, sad eyes...
Together, with your help, we will restore him to health. We'll show him what it's like to be a respected creature of this earth. We'll teach him to be confident in his own skin, and we'll show him love. It's not going to be a quick or easy healing journey for Kanga, but we know we can make a full recovery. He's just going to have to be strong and trust us.
