TAYLOR

Some stories are hard to hear. Some stories remind us why rescue matters. TAYLOR was found as a stray and recently joined the Tri-State family.

Estimated to be about 8 years old, TAYLOR came into rescue critically underweight - around 38 pounds! Far too thin for a basset his size. He was covered in old dog bite wounds, had a terrible abscess on his neck, was battling hookworms and heartworms, has a slight heart murmur, and some pretty awful teeth that will require a good dental cleaning.

Despite everything he's been through, TAYLOR has been nothing but sweet. When he first arrived, he followed his foster family everywhere, howling for more food. After being deprived for so long, he simply didn't know another meal was coming. Thankfully, he is already learning that those days are behind him.

What has amazed his foster family most is how quickly TAYLOR opened his heart. He loves the other dogs, adores the kids in his foster home, and is happiest when he's getting attention from his people. After all he has endured, he still greets the world with trust and a wagging tail.

Right now, TAYLOR is focus is on gaining weight, getting stronger, and healing. Once he's healthy enough to have his dental and get neutered and completes his heartworm treatment, then he'll be ready to go to his forever home ina few months. For now, we're just grateful he's safe, well-fed, and finally getting the care he deserves.
