Dallas Animal Services - Sweet Goober

DLF154 A758594

Dallas Animal Services has a little boy that is in need of your help.  His name is Goober!  He is a 2 year old, possible pit mix.  Goober has demodex mange, which makes it very hard to determine what breed he is.  He has spots like a dalmation and a lab-y head.  Goober weighs a whopping 65.8lbs! He is submissively sweet and loves people.  Goober is a little shy and is not used to walking on a leash.  With a little coaxing he will follow you anywhere!  We have begun treatment for the demodex as well as the secondary skin infection caused by the mites.  He also has entropion of the eyelids.  We believe this is due to the skin infections but it will be hard to tell until he is treated. 

I would like to take the time to point out that demodex is not contagious and is treatable.  Demodex is just a little mite that lives on dogs.  It does not even like people and is dog specific.  Goober’s mites only like Goober!  Don’t let Goober loose a second chance at life because he was nice enough to give these mites a home.  He didn’t know that they would be rude and take over his whole body! 

Please email us at DASrescue@dallascityhall.com to tag him.  Or if you have any questions, please ask!  If you would also like to contribute or help Goober get saved please let us know! 

Such a sweet boy should not have such a sad fate!

Thanks for all you do!
