Malnourished Dog Rescued from Plano Apartment Patio is ready for Adoption

Red looks like any other two year old dog but the hitch in his-get-a-long and scars under his slowly growing fur tells another story that started six months ago.

In October, Plano Animal Services responded to a cruelty complaint and found Red on the balcony of a second story apartment.

Animal Services Manager Jamey Cantrell said Red was as close to death as you can get.

He looked like a skeleton that had some red fur pulled over it, Cantrell recalled. It was like looking at an x-ray of a dog it really what it looked like.

Red had been left on the balcony to slowly starveone photograph tells a terrible story.

If you look closely at the pictures youll actually see one of the doors back behind him where hes pulled the wood off, Cantrell explained. He was actually eating the wood to survive.

Reds malnourished bones and joints needed surgerypaid for by citizen donations.

Animal Services Officer Kendra Hamilton was there the day red was rescued. It was love at first sight.

Kendra shot home video of her and Red playing and now after six long months of rehab Red is ready for adoption.

For Kendra is will be one of the greatest, saddest days ever.
