The Saga of Flaco - The Starving Dog On January 12th, Animal Services received a call from a tow yard down by the border of a dog that could not stand. Animal Control Officer Regina Jones responded and found the dog which she described as very emaciated. Pressure sores on the dogs body are proof that the dog rarely, if ever, was able to move. The dog was brought to our animal care facility in Bonita where staff were both horrified by the dogs extremely poor condition yet smitten by the dogs sad eyes. The decision was made immediately to try and save the dogs life and we have been slowly introducing food to the dog. We are ecstatic to say that the dog can now stand and walk short distances and wags his tail at the staff. Flaco as he was named by staff was sent to a rescue group this morning. It is our intention that we will post an update on the dogs condition at the end of each week. We encourage everyone to stay tuned as Flaco continues to improve!
