He arrived safely Friday night. He was very skittish. It was quite a chore to get a leash on him to take him outside to "use the bathroom". Like Gennies said, I don't really know everything he's been through. I know his hair was cut short to get rid of all the matting. There are sores on his back. Hard to tell what type of injury caused that. I have some oatmeal soap for his skin. I'm giving him lots of patience. In the attached pics you can see that Friday night he slept at the foot of the bed curled in a ball. He is too cute.
He hasn't had any accidents in the house yet. This morning he scratched at the door to be let out. He still cowers when I reach for him. That may be due to his previous owner. But over time I think that will get better. Just have to teach the kids to be patient with him. They get to meet him for the first time on Monday.
The name so far is between Willie, Nelson, or Harley. I have to wait and see what the kids like I guess...
I found him through my girlfriend's mom who was the breeder's groomer. She said his hair was darker before the buzz cut. I thought she did a great job considering she had to get rid of almost all his hair.
