Love Advice on recent rescue

Just got a male rescue from a puppymill today. I have already found a home for him with a good friend of mine in Alabama who will have time and love and patience to take care of him.

This Ass**** brought him into our vet's office last night and wanted them to put him down because they couldn't get him house trained! He has been horribly neglected and is probably 2 lbs or more underweight. He has very few teeth so we gave him some soft dog food and he ate like he was starving!

I'm getting his dental work done on Wed. and one of our groomers is going to groom him in the morning. I've only had him about 2 hours. He is matted to the skin, so I'm sure she will have to shave him down. Poor little guy.

He is not neutered and is "marking" everywhere. I'm going to try to get him neutered on Wed. too, but meanwhile, does anyone know how to get him to stop marking? He is going potty outside, but doesn't understand not to mark in the house. Any tips?????

He is so cute. How can anyone treat a little helpless animal so badly. I put him in the big crate and he started pacing so I took him right out. He seems more comfortable in the smaller travel crate. I think the bigger crate may have reminded him of being at the puppy mill. Breaks my heart.

He will have a great life with Jane in Alabama. I just have to get him down there from southern Illinois.

All suggestions welcome!!!!

BTW, Lexy loves him and Peanut is a little jealous!
