A staff member writes:  Meet little Poky! He was surrendered by his owners because they do not have the proper resources to provide for him. When Poky was surrendered, his owners said he was healthy, but after the vet looked at him, it was clear that he has a few issues. He is missing a cranial mandible and many of his teeth fell out during the exam. Poky is in need of some serious TLC! During his exams, he was very friendly and allowed all handling. This poor guy needs your help today!
