Antelope Valley Dog and Cat Rescue, Inc.

On July 4^th this was a lucky day for Skely !!!

 Vilma had spotted him standing in the middle of Avenue Q he was in a daze just standing there as if to say I can’t take it any more he was so weak he could hardly take another step.

Vilma rushed back to the sanctuary and loaded her car with all the necessary equipment needed to rescue Skely

This Dog was so emaciated and very hungry he was captured in the trap in a very short time compared to other rescue attempts. That could take hours of sitting and waiting for them to enter the baited trap.

He was immediately taken to High Desert Animal Hospital; Vilma had called ahead so they were waiting for us to arrive.

While getting him out of the Van I managed to get a few pictures of him they were through the cage but wow you can even see his ribs through the cage

He was in the Animal Hospital for 2 days then brought back to the sanctuary

He was given shots, nutrition and a good examination

As soon as we can fatten him up he will be neutered and ready for adoption

He is a gorgeous dog only 6 months old probably born out there and the only one left of his family. He is very loving and a little shy.

If you would like to visit Skelly come on out to our rescue and watch for updates as he gains weight we will have more pictures of him on our website.
