Meet the new boy, Chico. He's only around 9 - 12 months old and he's not had a good start to life. He'd been half starved, beaten with a baseball bat and the scars around his neck suggest that a 'prong' collar had been used on him. He's got every right to hate the human race and yet the opposite is the case; he's the most loving and affectionate boy you could ever wish to meet. We'd like to thank the pound which took him in, they took really good care of him, including all the vet care he needed. We are not wanting any applications for him at this time; he needs time to adjust and put some much needed weight on- and we need time to fully assess him.
