Donny was rescued from the shelter on the west side. He is about 10 years old and, judging from the condition he was in, he must have been on his own for some time. He was extremely thin with a skin infection, intestinal infection, and an eye infection, had a large hernia, as well as several large cysts, and also tested positive for Valley Fever. The hernia has been repaired and he has recovered from that surgery. He is currently getting bathed daily with special shampoo for his skin infection. He is on meds for the Valley Fever and his intestinal infection. He will soon be scheduled for surgery to remove the larger cysts. Whew--that's a lot to recover from, but Donny is a very patient patient!

As skinny as he is, he is still a very large basset, currently weighing in at 72 lbs, and is a tricolor with some distinguished graying of his face. He is eating well and gaining weight and his coat is shiny and clean. He gets along very well with other dogs and he enjoys going for walks and loves his doggy bed!
