Windsor was the victim of animal cruelty. Despite that he is full of love. Thanks to animal control and the wonderful folks at the shelter, Windsor was able to make it to us where he will be cared for in foster care until he is healthy enough to look for his new permanent home. When Windsor was found, the vet assessed his body condition score at being a 1, a walking skeleton. He should be a blue Pitbull, but he has virtually no hair on his body from lack of nutrition. This poor boy has no body fat and is losing muscle tone. The vet notes say he is a very quiet and sweet dog and he likes being with people. Although he is not even 3 years old, he is already a strong positive for heartworms. Windsor has been living on a chain in a back yard and sleeping on the hard ground. His lack of care resulted in open sores on both wrists, left ankle and his rear end. These are basically 'bed sores' from repeatedly sleeping on the hard ground and having no body fat to cushion his bones.
This is Windsor with his foster mom, Jen. Jen is a trainer and she and her family are dedicated to giving this boy the love and care he needs and deserves as he gets healthy enough to look for his forever home.
