If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail it to jillianhtar@gmail.com. PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ Blanco was rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico- he was found being starved and abused on the streets, and a kind animal lover could not turn a blind eye to him. They immediately scooped him up and rushed him to the vet- where it was thought that he would have to be euthanized- his body was covered in sores, you could see every bone along his spine, and he had heartworm. It was decided to try to treat him for a few days to see if he would get any better- which he did!! After many months of intensive TLC, Blanco's wounds have healed and he finally is back to a normal weight. Someone tried to make him look scary and cut his ears off- but he is just a big mush with a kind and gentle soul. He does well with other dogs, is calm, sweet, and so forgiving despite his horrible past. He is used to being crated and is quiet inside. The last step for Blanco is to find a loving home- please look past his cropped ears and 'scary' image, because inside is a wonderful wonderful boy just ready to give you love!
