Thankfully he's safe and being fostered right now, BUT these photos are apparently an improvement to the mess he WAS in. Angie tells me he was kept in a plastic crate all the time and she thinks he's around 4....I thought he was a puppy... XXX. Lynda and the Minkies December 02 at 13:16 Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) Ethel says his pink skin is starting to show now-she's had him 2 weeks. XXX. Lynda and the Minkies December 02 at 13:17 Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) One day you'll have a lovely carrot tail, little fella'.... XXX. Lynda and the Minkies December 02 at 13:18 Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) He's off to the vet today for an update then onto another foster home till he's adopted. XXX. Sonny and Cayla December 02 at 20:33 Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) Have they ruled out Malassezia? My second Westie had it and she looked just as pitiful as he did. I took her to 4 different vets (I lived in Alaska then and one that was allegedly a dermatology vet that flew up from Sacramento to see her and other dogs with skin problems). Additionally, two different vets saw her in Florida and not one diagnosed her correctly. As a matter of fact a Dermatology for Small Animals textbook had a picture of a dog that looked like that classified as West Highland White Terrier Epidermal Dysplasia. Not until last year did I realize that it was Malassezia from information I gathered from Westie Boards. My Westie was never in a crate, she had the run of the house, and those people that kept him in a crate should be jailed, but I think that if anyone that saw my dog in that condition and did not know how much I did and all the recourses I went through to make her feel better would also think I was a bad owner. Angie December 03 at 17:14 Update Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) Actually, he has NO mites. He is like this from being kept in a plastic crate, in the garage... let out only 4 times a day. He probably had accidents in there and it hurt his skin, not to mention what ever else grew in there from being hot and sweaty... remember, we've had him two weeks - he's been in a crate for sometime ALL SUMMER. :( We do know its a yeast infection too - which doesn't surprise us... yeast grows in moist, warm atmosphere. The owner was in Iraq, wife left to deal with household responsiblilities,kids and dog... he fell into that order. :( Angie Lynda and the Minkies December 03 at 08:08 Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) I'm pretty sure that's what it is, but I know WRM have a lot of experience with dogs that have it too, which is lucky for him. XXX. mackintosh December 02 at 13:26 Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) Oh god help him! What I would do to whomever had him! Its makes my blood boil to see this Lynda. Why???? why do people buy dogs then allow them to become so poorly???? Lynda and the Minkies December 02 at 14:58 Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) Probably didn't buy him....perhaps he was bred or given to someone....anyway, that's never an excuse for this sort of ill-treatment. XXX. Angie December 03 at 17:16 He is an owner release!! makes it worse, if you ask me! :( Casey December 02 at 13:37 Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) Poor Jack, he's almost as bad as Wendy was. It angers me so when people let a sweet dog get to this condition. With the great care and loving he gets in rescue, he'll be a handsome carrot tail in no time. Good luck and hugs to Jack, T&C-Boys xox john / irene Maxwell December 02 at 13:45 Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) Poor poor Boy God bless his little heart we wish him all the best for the future he deserves a second chance john / irene Maxwell Joan Lottie & Muffin December 02 at 13:54 Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) Poor darling. He is already looking better. Please keep us posted on his progress Mary, Kelsey and Furby December 02 at 14:05 Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) what a sweetie, wish I could take him when he was ready as I do most of them. They should do that to those who harm them, see if they like it. Jodi, Logan & Katie December 02 at 14:24 Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) Oh boy, what a life he was subjected to. Glad he is now safe in rescue. Belinda, & Tenn. Terriers December 02 at 14:24 Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) How on God's green earth could anyone no matter how cruel do this. This is horrible. Lynne, Gus & Ben December 02 at 15:30 Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) OMG! I can't begin to imagine how this poor little guy has suffered. I would love to get my hands on those SOB's who had him. It pains me not at all to say i would show no mercy! Thank God he is in good and loving hands now. Soon he will be a beautiful little boy again. Bless him. Love, Lynne, Gus & Ben. Max December 02 at 15:34 Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) How horrible to think how this little one was neglected, bless him. He deserves all the best. Marianne and Max Lynda and the Minkies December 02 at 15:56 More Information Ang emailed me more of his story: "HI - Mr. Jack is an owner release as of two weeks ago. He was left in a carrier crate in the garage and let out only 4 times a day. His male owner is overseas and the wife/kids left him this way. She released him to WRM and I have had him since. Luckly, my vet urged her to contact WRM and release him. CBC's, allergy tests, etc. have been completed on him. I really think this is from sitting on plastic all day/night and only let out 4 times a day to do his business. Ethel" What a charming family he had.... XXX. mackintosh December 03 at 12:32 Re: More Information They should be charged with animal neglect!!!! I honestly think people should apply for a licence before they are even allowed near an animal!! Lynda and the Minkies December 03 at 16:19 Re: More Information Yeah...look at the stuff people go through to adopt kids..... XXX. Wesley and Bailey's Mom December 02 at 16:03 Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) Oh the poor little guy. Thank goodness he has a chance now. I'm sure he is so grateful. I just want to give the little guy hugs. Benny December 02 at 20:22 Re: WRM New Rescue Jack (Shocking Photos) Poor little guy and he is so cute.

It's hard to get my mind around this kinda stuff! How can anyone do this to a precious lil' doggy???
