Sammy was picked up by the local shelter after being abandoned and left on the street... He was then picked up by Austin Pet Alive (our shelters euthanize after 7 days). He was estimated around 8 weeks old, infested with fleas and ticks and just in a sad state. My boyfriend and I adopted him within 2 days of his arrival. Two days after that, we found out he had a severe giardia infection. The "worst" case my vet has ever seen. He may be a little guy, but he sure is a fighter!! He's getting better everyday and we are absolutely loving him!! We originally thought he was a border collie, but then found out he was a Schipperke-Pom mix. Hes the cutest thing ever.. his best feature is his ears. They fold over and we are hoping they never straighten out!! More details to come..
