How Conall Was Saved
This is Conall. You'll read about him, and the woman who saved him from almost certain death at a South Carolina shelter in the April issue of Delaware Pets.
"Conall will always be our mascot," says Marleen Oetzel, founder and adoption coordinator of the Lost and Found Dog Rescue and Adoption Center in New Castle. Lost and Found is the featured rescue group in the monthly magazine, which can be found at pet-related businesses starting Thursday.
In addition to one eye being gone, Conall was severely malnourished and had wounds on his body. After traveling to Delaware, he was diagnosed with heartworm and, later, hookworm. But today, as you can see, "He's a wiggle butt," Oetzel says. "A sweet, loving creature."
Conall is living with a foster mom, and Oetzel hopes to have him ready for adoption in about a month. "His foster mom taught him to give paw," she says.
All of that love and care doesn't come cheap. If you'd like to donate to Lost and Found Dog Rescue, to volunteer, or to adopt, go to Web site or call 613-0394.

Conall deserves all of the L-O-V-E he can get. Thanks for saving such a loving wiggly-butt!
What's he chewwing on? His bed? A toy? Seriously -- thank goodness he was saved! Good work being done by people who truly, truly, care.
