My hope and spirit had almost completely faded away.

Update: Neon was adopted on Christmas Eve!

Extremely filthy and starving, Neon was essentially just skin and bones and dirty tangles at the time of his rescue (by a kind person who brought him to us).

A month has now gone by and every day brings a bit of improvement for him, a little more light in his eyes and muscle on his thin frame.

Neon's improvements need to continue in his new home. So please keep in mind that he is a work in progress, a flower blooming again.

Neon is a Toy Poodle mix, neutered and about 7 years of age, though perhaps older (since judging by his teeth was very difficult in his case).

Besides being tender-hearted, this rustic boy is also mellow and compatible with other sweet dogs.

Please plan on regular grooming care for him and budget accordingly.

Neon debuts for adoption today. He has a mid-level heart murmur (grade 4 of 6), so besides a quieter lifestyle and less exposure to heat and exertion, he also takes medication. The staff can give you more details and please be sure to consult your veterinarian for guidance.
