Albert has been with us for less than a month and he is already a completely different dog. He has gained healthy weight, his face has filled out, and his true personality has begun to shine.
Albert loves playing with toys, romping around with other dogs, and happily chewing on bones and antlers.
He is every bit as funny as he looks—clumsy, goofy, and tripping over his own legs. But more than anything, he craves love and affection.
It is heartbreaking to think that, in his past life, Albert would have been desperately seeking that same love from the criminal low-life humans who abused him. Albert was used as bait in a dogfighting ring — one of the most horrific and cruelest forms of abuse imaginable. Instead of being loved and cared for, he was exploited and left to die.
But that life is far behind him now.
Today, Albert is full of life and joy. He delights in the simple pleasures—rolling in the grass, sunbathing on the deck, and snuggling up with his foster mom. He is one of the most affectionate dogs we have ever rescued, always ready for cuddles and never far behind his foster mom’s heels.
You can see the transformation in his recent photos compared to the ones taken in the shelter and when he first arrived. . His head has filled out beautifully.
Just last week, Albert had his big vet day—he was neutered, had a dental procedure with teeth extractions, and had a (benign) golf ball-sized growth removed from his chest. He is currently being treated for a skin infection
A heartfelt thank you goes out to Albert’s incredible sponsor, who has made all of this possible. Thanks to their generosity, Albert is receiving the medical care, nutritious food that he so desperately needed. He came from an overcrowded shelter in the south, where hundreds of dogs arrive each week—and without his sponsor, Albert would not be alive today.
