He arrived at BARC after being found on someone's property, where he was reportedly growling and refusing to leave. We now know that he has a significant injury to his right hind leg, is unable to bear weight on it and has moderate muscle atrophy. It's likely that his growling was influenced by pain, fear and the vulnerability of being injured in an unfamiliar place. Unfortunately, we have no additional behavioral notes to tell us what he's like when he feels safe and comfortable. What we do know is that this older boy is hurting and needs help. At 8 years old, he still deserves the chance to experience love, comfort and security. He shouldn't lose his life simply because he was found injured and frightened. He needs someone willing to see beyond his circumstances and give him the care and compassion he deserves.
