WEB MEMO
12 year old Joey is a bit of a mystery. Brought in by his owners claiming that he hadn’t been eating well for the last couple of weeks, his medical revealed that the level of his emaciation and dehydration would have been “unlikely to have occurred over 2 weeks”. He was matted, flea infested, and as a result of cataracts, Joey is blind and ate every ounce of food shelter staff put in front of him. We learn from his owner notes that he was adopted from an unnamed shelter 5 years ago, goes walks twice a day and eats once a day. Joey will need a much more detailed medical exam. He does have some sort of abdominal mass which could be anything from cancer to the result of undernourishment. ACC has made it clear that Joey can’t stay like this and unless someone steps up to foster or adopt Joey by noon tomorrow, they will euthanize him. If you have room in your home and your heart to get this sad little guy the care he so deserves, don’t delay—ACC won’t hesitate to make him gone forever tomorrow.
