Hero

We can't wait to see this transformation. We truly all believe if we didn't step in to help Hero that this dog would have surely died. Hero is about 5 years old and was found running as a stray. He ended up in a shelter in Indiana who didn't have the funds to vet him and they asked us to take him. We did as he needed help right away. Hero is a Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mixed dog. He currently weighs 52 pounds (11/22/25) and you can feel his spine and ribs. When rescued, both ears were terribly infected and he has a bad sore on his nose, most likely from rubbing on a wire cage. To top it all off, he is heartworm positive and will need an expensive treatment to remove the worms in his heart. Speaking of worms, in some of his first potties in our care, he had more worms than poo.<br/><br/>Hero gets along with the dogs in his foster home. He is housebroken and will need a physical fenced yard since he was found as a stray. He came in the week before Thanksgiving and will probably be in our care for 4  months until he can be adopted. We are greatly looking forward to showing you the "after" photos of Hero. Keep him in your prayers.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting a golden retriever, please read "How to Adopt" at www.gr-rescue.org.
