All neglect stories are heartbreaking, but it really pulls on your heartstrings when it's just a tiny little puppy.  Zeek was a stray - abandoned and left to survive on his own.  He was taken to a shelter and was going to be euthanized.  Poor little Zeek was covered in fleas.  They were so bad that his little body had bald patches in multiple places.  Luckily one of our rescue partners pulled him out and rushed him to the vet where he was treated for anemia (due to the fleas).  His ear also has bite marks.  We aren't sure what happened, but a theory is that it may have been rat bites.  Needless to say, poor Zeek has had a very rough go of it.  





But the happy news is that he is now in a safe foster home where his foster has been diligently taking care of him and nursing him back to health.  Her hard work has paid off and he's all better now.  So much so that he's finally acting like a puppy!  His skin is healed and he's a very happy boy.  He's also a very smart boy.  He's already potty trained, and he knows to go sit by the door to go outside.  He's had no accidents in her house.  He's also crate trained (and sleeps through the night), and comes when he's called.  He loves meeting new friends (both people and other dogs) and he loves to play...and if there's nobody around to play with, he will amuse himself by playing catch with his toys - he'll throw them up in the air - lol.
