Archie

If Archie could talk, he would tell us his sad story. Found as a stray, this handsome German Shorthaired Pointer ended up at Oldham County Animal Control extremely emaciated. Emaciated to the point that his internal organs were shutting down. Emaciated to the point that he had eaten rocks, as many starving dogs do just to fill their stomachs. Our concern became getting him healthy again. Giving him nourishment and getting him up to a good weight was a slow process. Dogs who have been starved cannot be flooded with food. Archie, who now weighs over 55 pounds, stayed at our office under the attentive care of our Dog Team volunteers until he was strong enough to go into training in Camp K-9 at the Kentucky State Reformayory. Now at about 4 years old, he is healthy and thriving, and a beautiful specimen of a GSP.
