Source:   Owner relinquished to the AWL on March 31. Given name is Prince, which NISA is changing to Crosby.

Appearance:  His body was shaved to the skin at some point as the hair is very even and only 1/4 inch long. hair above the collar line is normal and hair around ears grossly matted. This dog is immensely obese!

Incoming physical condition:  No medical history available. No medical provided while in holding at the AWL. Weight is 98 pounds; stool - negative; HW test - negative; raging diarrhea from stress and diet changes; heart and lungs normal.

Estimated age:  Relinquish info indicates 10 years

Temperament:  Stressed and somewhat snappy with technicians and kennel personal. Staff contributes this to the dogs stress levels.

Training:  No information available

Notes:  Relinquish information indicates Crosby is housetrained, good with cats and is very compatible other dogs. Howls or sings while riding in a vehicle...quite beautiful to listen to, hence the name Crosby

Up-date:
Thanks to FM (foster Mom) Carol, Crosby is beginning to blossom and he's also down to 82 pounds. He walks like a dream on leash, changes directions on just a verbal command, loves to just hang-out near his human, and is learning that brushing is NOT the worst experience in life. He's also improved greatly with toy sharing and is no longer as challenging about his food dish.

He still absolutely hates being brushed or having his nails done, but FM says, "We'll continue to work on these areas." That aside, FM feels Crosby would make a wonderful companion in any adult home.

Look at this face on the left. How can you resist?
