"This dog is at animal control in Kingwood, WV. He is approximately 5 years old, not neutered, needs medical attention for a skin condition (there is no vet at the shelter, so we don't know what is wrong -- could be anything from a flea allergy to mange), ...is timid around new people and seems generally not well socialized (though he does walk well on leash). He was found as a stray, so there is no background information on him. Not sure of his breed, but he looks like an American Bulldog mix. He has a large head and chest and narrower hindquarters. He weighs approximately 65-70 lbs. and probably should gain 10 lbs. or more. He has warmed up to the ACO. He seems to have little interest in other dogs and does not seem to be aggressive toward them (through kennel wire), but we are not sure how he would react to dogs being very friendly or aggressive toward him. He is not up for adoption, but the ACO has agreed to allow him to be rescued if any rescue out there would want to give him a chance. He needs a rescue that can take care of his medical needs and place him in an environment where he can be evaluated and hopefully socialized, trained, and be made ready for adoption. We have volunteers that can help with getting him to a vet and help with transport. The shelter is closed until Tuesday 2/8, so please e-mail wvsher@yahoo.com if you are interested in this unfortunate boy. He is scheduled for euthansia Tuesday morning. Please crosspost!"
