He sat in the back of a pickup truck, confined in a wire crate under the blazing 90° Texas sun. BARC had already reached their daily limit for owner surrenders and it wasn’t even noon yet so they had to turn him away. We couldn’t walk away from him. We told his owners to wait across the street and, as soon as we finished with our business with BARC, we met them there and brought Kevin to safety. Kevin is completely shut down right now. He’s so frightened. Every trip outside is spent scanning for escape routes. It’s clear he’d never known love, a gentle touch, or kindness. He’s lived his whole life just roaming, surviving, and avoiding danger. And, not surprisingly, he tested heartworm positive, a direct result of long-term neglect. He's been treated and recovered. After his time in rescue, Kevin has healed into a wonderful companion. He's a couch potato who loves to cuddle in bed with you. Are you the home that Kevin deserves?
