Elderly Dog Needs Rescue After Being Dumped
An ailing German Shepherd is in urgent need of a home for his remaining days.
A local animal shelter is holding an elderly German Shepherd after he was dumped by his owners, but his time there is running out.
"Poor fellow just needs a soft bed and a loving home to live out his remaining time," said a message from Gwinnett Animal Control, adding that the dog's "stray hold" is running out.
A veterinarian who examined the dog said he suffers from dysplasia, bone spurs and lumbar spondylosis, and that he is now on pain medicine.
