New Addition!

So it's been a very long time since I've been on! Work, and college has been hectic lately buuuut, I'm very proud to say that we have finally found Ebony her perfect match

Here's Charlie! I rescued him from work (the same place I rescued Ebony from) He's roughly 10 months old and is an American Bulldog cross Staff! He's VERY underweight, and is in very bad shape. He's very frail and struggles walking up the stairs as he isn't very strong at the moment. Being in the kennels for so long had really knocked him about and his fur is all discolored and his nails are very short. He even started losing hair on his nose/muzzle, top of his head and his ears - his head was nearly all pink. His ribs, hips and spine are very sticky outty and he shakes when he stands for too long. Despite all our efforts trying to help him gain some weight back he just continued to lose it and the race began to find him a home! I spoke to my parents about having him and the next day we walked them together and then he came home with us the following day! I've had him roughly 4 days now, and he's very settled in! He looks up to Ebony completely and they were best friends from the moment they got in together The pictures don't really show the bad condition of him as they're not the best quality and when he's laying down in certain angles it doesn't look all that bad. He's already gained a bit of weight on his ribs and his hair is coming back after using some creams just after 4 days so hopefully he's going to get stronger in no time When my phones on charge I'll edit this post and put a video of them playing in the garden on I'd say height wise he's the size of an Am Bull, probably a bit bigger actually but he's thinner than Ebony - hopefully that gives you some comparison.

What a lovely boy! You kept that quiet, you dark horse!

This pic shows how thin he he, poor little (big) fella!

Aww Cody, he's lovely, I can see in some pics he's underweight but I sure after some time with you he'll improve, and ebony is as beautiful as ever I hope things continue to improve for him and him & Eb continue to be the best of friends.

Honestly this picture makes him look fat compared to how he looks in real life! He's all bandy and his whole body swings when he walks - it really is a shame

Hahaha oh I know! It all happened so quickly! But yes, I am a dark horse > Thank you so much everyone! I'll post up some pictures of him the day we got him home, these pictures were taken today and last night (bed pictures) Can't wait to see him all filled out and gorgeous again His fur is all dull and bleh Just makes me wanna cuddle him whenever I see him

Congrats on the newbie , sure you will get him sorted just fine

Aw Cody, was wondering where you'd got to! Congratulations, Charlie is gorgeous and what a lucky boy to have such a loving home - he'll be right in no time. Very glad Eb has a playmate too. Lots of work ahead and double the love and fun. Well done! ><

He's in so bad shape, glad he's with you now and has a family who will love him and look after him he will soon put weight on
