    This poor baby is listed as in a foster home. Looking at the terrible condition he's in & the way he's curled up you know he's had a bad life to be so young. Sure hope he is doing better & gets a new wonderful home. Makes me want to jump in the car & go get him but at least he's in a foster home where he will get care.

    Poor little guy. I hope his rescue/foster gets him medical treatment immediately...he looks like he is covered with mange. And hopefully some wonderful person with a big heart will want him...he will be a totally different little lad once he has a safe, loving and healthy place to call home.

    How terrible :(. That little guy is going to haunt me. I pray he finds the loving family he deserves soon.

    Are you sure he's with a foster? I'm friends with one of the ladies who runs the Austin Sheltie Rescue and can contact her about him. She's probably leaving for Houston today though.. flyball tournament this weekend.

    Hopefully, that picture was taken before he went into the foster home.

    Glad to hear that he is in a foster home now.

    Rusty really looks in terrible shape.

    My prayers are going out for him.

    I hope he's ok too. He is still listed on Petfinder but when I go to the San Antonio.gov animal services page he doesn't show up.
    There's another sad looking female rough collie at the same place. Her info is HELEN - ID#A289970

    Wonder what their story is.

    Oh that poor little thing... outside in leaves in March with that much hair loss? How cold does it get during Texas winters? I wish I could help this sad looking little man.:cry:

    These two need to be rescued NOW.
