One of the 108 dogs recovered last November from Michigan’s biggest alleged dogfighting enterprise was a blind dog tethered outdoors with just a broken-down doghouse for shelter.
Bark Nation, a Detroit-based animal welfare group dedicated to ending dogfighting and saving lives, rescued all of the dogs with the aid of federal and state law enforcement.
A veterinarian inspected the canines and found that the beautiful youngster, who was visibly blind, had most likely lost his sight as a consequence of dogfighting injuries.
“We can’t imagine how traumatic it must have been for him to live outside, exposed to the elements, and completely blind,” Jessica Brown, Bark Nation’s Director of Operations, said.
“Turkey Jerky Snack” (also known as the KING) was his moniker, and he rapidly captured the hearts of the employees and volunteers.
Turkey is adjusting to life at a shelter, but she longs for a permanent home. He’s moved on from his horrific background and is ready to love someone wholeheartedly. When you can’t see, getting around a new environment might be challenging and terrifying, but Turkey has his own customized cart that he uses every day to go outdoors.
He’s seeking for someone to snuggle with, so all movie and television aficionados are encouraged to apply. This sweetie wants a loving home as well as a comfy sofa to cuddle up on. He’s utterly deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deafening He still likes outings to the park, but his favorite place to be is at your side. His dream day includes cuddling with some nice, dog-friendly treats and watching movies.
“He’ll happily have a Disney movie marathon, eat cheese pizza, and snuggle his people all day on the couch,” according to the shelter.
In Turkey, there is never a boring moment…
He is being fed while waiting for his owner, and he just won an award at the shelter’s “Bark-ademy Awards.” Turkey was named Best Actor. According to the shelter, “the Bark-ademy Award winner for Best Actor warms the hearts of everyone he encounters.” He’s charming and amusing, and he keeps everyone guessing! Our winner is hoping that his newfound notoriety and grandeur would help him find a home sooner rather than later. He enjoys playing with another dog at our shelter and would benefit from a canine buddy. He is totally deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deaf
To assist Turkey acclimatize to his new surroundings, he need a fenced-in yard and a tolerant family. He may be able to cohabit with another dog, but he will benefit from progressive introductions, which the shelter crew would gladly assist with.
