The dog, believed to be a boxer mix, weighed just 28 pounds when he was found outside the church in Fulton County, Georgia. Dogs his age should be at least double the weight.
โOdysseus is currently on a feeding plan to help him stay on the right track and get his body the nutrients he so desperately needs. Heโs eating very well too! And luckily, he is heartworm negative!!! Heโs tested negative for various other diseases as well so this is great news!!!
โHe is a complete lovebug too! He desperately wants love and itโs so evident in his sweet face. Heโs a bit nervous at first when he meets someone but quickly warms up, once talked to.
His foster, Nicole, can be seen here hugging and loving on him earlier today at the veterinary hospital. She even got her first kiss from him!!!
He would not have lasted much longer in his condition, but his rescuers are hoping the young dog will pull through.
โTHIS, this right here is rescue,โ the group wrote. โThis is why we do what we do, day after day!โ
