Thank you so much for your generosity.
This handsome guy was rescued from a Home Depot parking lot late one night; emaciated, filthy, burns to the pads of all four of his feet and a road burn on his hind end. But he is totally OK now!
He was placed in a great home with an active female dog about his same size - but he has decided he would prefer a home with a calmer, smaller more laid back dog.
So NOW, we are looking for a new home for Homer -- hopefully with a calm, laid back smaller dog - NO cats. He is great with people but he might be too big and clumsy for toddlers.
He's neutered, vaccinated and chipped and is a total SWEETIE PIE - about 2 years old, 60 lbs. and a real goober. Likes to lean on you -- a very friendly and gentle demeanor - He is a big goof. He needs basic training to stop him from jumping on you (or your mother!).

MEET "RYAN"
We got a distress call 4 weeks ago from a guy who from the side of the road in Homestead, rescued a mid-sized dog who was just lying there.. hang dog- defeated... likely a "bait dog" and in tough shape.
We met them at VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital-- and in spite of ALL his injuries, his tail never stopped wagging. He was a HOT MESS and is as SWEET as can be! He is about 40 lbs., looks like a Dingo-dog... Shepherd/Lab mix perhaps... (clearly a mutt), intact and pretty emaciated.
His wounds were highly infected and had more than 125+ bite holes. Thank God for antibiotics and a great Vet (or two)! His injuries didn't end up being life threatening (thankfully), and we are delighted to report he has mended well and has JUST been placed in a foster home in Ft. Lauderdale. He is on meds to treat an anemic-type condition, but it is being treated.
We are working with him slowly introducing him to dogs of all sizes - and he is doing well. He is not confrontational, but is a little lacking in confidence.
$$$ His vet bill was a WHOPPER $$$~~ One of the biggest we've ever had. ICU for 2+ weeks. If you wish to make a donation towards his care: Grateful Paws has a secure Paypal link on our website (www.gratefulpaws.org). Be sure to include your email address so we can acknowledge your generosity and earmark it for RYAN. OR-- you can mail a check to GPDCRI, 1881 SW 21 Street, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33315.
He is on the schedule to be neutered and chipped.
