Skitz, the Dog of the Day
Name: Skitz
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female Breed: Dog
Home: Kansas, USA
 
   Skitz is rescue dog adopted from a no-kill shelter. She had been rescued from a life at a puppy mill. She was infected with so many fleas that she had to be shaved to control them. Her tail must have been broken as it has a 90-degree turn at the end about 1/2 inch long. There also appears to be a BB lodged at the base of one ear. When we got her home we nursed her and got rid of her fleas and she became a very healthy dog. At first she was quite shy and spent most of her time under the dining room table. In this picture she had been with us for about a week. She is looking out from under the table and seems to be thinking who are you and so shy wondering if all will be ok.

    Skitz was never taught to play and to this day still doesn't. She finally she came out of her shell and asks me for treats and tells me when she wants to go outside. She is now very happy and always wagging her tail and spinning in circles when she wants something. She has a Boston Terrier, Bryn, as a companion and follows him when they go out into the yard. They both like to chase the rabbits and squirrels. They work as a team, but just can't quite catch them.
