Dumped Senior Dog Has The Happiest Final Months Thanks To Kind Rescuers
It’s a sad reality that senior dogs are often overlooked in shelters, with many people preferring puppies or younger dogs that they can mold.
Senior dogs like Henry often miss the chance for a second home because of their age and health issues.
Henry Was Dumped Old And In A Terrible State
Henry, a 16-year-old dog with a tough past, faced a bleak future when his family surrendered him because they couldn’t handle his medical conditions.
He was old, battling cancer, deaf, and partially blind.
Just when things seemed their darkest, Zach Skow, founder of Marley’s Mutts in California, stepped in to change Henry’s fate.
