When Oscar was found, he was living in an abandoned home with another dog, both in horrific condition.
They both had leishmaniasis, a disease caused by parasites, which left their skin crusty and hard as a rock.
Since they had never been treated, the disease spiraled out of control, leaving their bodies without fur, and looking like they were statues made of stone.
Oscar was so weak and had given up on life.
He was barely alive and his body was shutting down, so vets had to work together to bring him back.
He received months of treatment and medicated baths, and a new dog began to emerge.
As his fur started to grow back in, Oscar looked completely unrecognizable.
Both Oscar and his mom were adopted by loving families, but sadly after some time, Oscar’s family had a health issue and was no longer able to care for him.
They returned him to Larkhill, and now he is searching for a new home.
