Goyo is the sweetest soul we have ever met. He was originally posted on facebook as needing help. A few people spotted him around, but nobody could ever catch him. Until one Sunday, a determined woman went looking and waiting for him. She was able to find him and get him to our afterhours vet. This poor guy was completely exhausted. He had erlichea, anemia, was quite underweight and had non-contagious mange. After the vet we got him to the shelter, and he just wanted to sleep. After further investigation we found that Goyo had TVT. We were able to treat him, and he is now finished with his treatments and healthy. We’d love for him to have a quiet, loving home. He is great around other dogs, mostly not paying any attention to them. He is still very quiet but LOVES attention from people. He would be a very loyal companion for sure. Occasionally a little playful side comes out where he will jump up and wants to nibble on your hand. Truly he is happiest being showered in affection and he loves all the attention. He does have a docked tail but was likely born that way, as we see it fairly often here.
He also has a “cauliflower” ear. We have had a few different vets treat him with cleaning and medications, but nothing has changed. At times, he will shake his head as if it is bothering him. Living outside in the dirt and gravel don’t really help the ear. He should have it cleaned at least once a week. Recently, our vet did an internal swab of the ear to check it again; results are pending.
Goyo is not a huge fan of the shelter so we’d really like to get him into a home.
