A sixth small dog, breed unknown, was also found deceased on the side of this road. All of the dogs were extremely matted, appeared to have suffered from long-term neglect and were very terrified. Immediately upon their arrival, they were sent to a local groomer who had to completely shave them down to remove all of the matted fur. We can only assume that these dogs had been abandoned by a breeder within that area. Due to space limitations at SoCo and to allow him to decompress, the groomer offered to foster Busby and his four companions for a couple of weeks. During that time, Busby was able to recover from his ordeal. He's since also proven to be very friendly and affectionate towards people, despite the obvious neglect by his former owner, and also gets along great with other dogs. Busby deserves a home that will give him ample amounts of love, proper care (including regular grooming) and some patience while he continues to learn that being a dog means much more than just being a source of income. We've now had Busby neutered and renewed his annual vaccinations and de-wormings. He's also be started on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. His recent vet examination resulted in a negative test results for heartworms. Busby will most likely need further house and leash training once in a new home. Busby has already been microchipped as well
