Lyle has been through the wringer since he was rescued almost two years ago. Lyle went form Winn Dixie to the Humane Society of Louisiana in Tylertown, Mississippi. Lyle then went to a dismal situation in Kentucky where he lived on a chain. Lyle was then re-rescued from horrible conditions and brought back to HSLA where he resides to this day.
Lyle needs a situation where he will get more attention, out of the crowded atmosphere at HSLA Tylertown, and where he can have more stability and personalized care. A great scenario would be a place where he will get rehabilitated & then be able to be placed in a real home.

When he was recovered from her property in February of 2006 he was bloated, had a skin infection and his fur was awful looking. Lyle was kept on a toe chain. Several Vets have said that his behavioral & physical changes are consistent with anabolic steroids", said Shelli Brooks, HSLA volunteer.
