Baron is a sweet approximate 5yr old male GSP looking for his forever home. He was found running on the desert and his body shows it, he was 35lbs when he came into rescue, he is now 46lbs and at a healthy weight!
He is undergoing treatment for KCS (Keratoconjunctivitis sicca), and an ophthalmologist in Salt Lake City believes he will recover well and become a normal bird dog. This condition can result from trauma or other idiopathic causes. We conducted a brain MRI, which revealed an inner ear infection extending to his cranial vault, exerting pressure on the trigeminal nerve. This explains his KCS symptoms and the facial muscle atrophy on the left side, known as Horner's Syndrome. It remains uncertain whether we can completely eliminate the infection and how lasting some of his symptoms might be; only time will tell. If he doesn't seem like the right match for your family but you wish to contribute to his care, his total veterinary expenses so far are just under $8,000.
One of his foster's says he's a good size because he's "scoopable." smallish so she can pick him up. He sleeps in the crate, all night, no problem and we leave him there during the day if we go out. He is working on his basic obedience and he's got SIT, STAY at mealtime and when there's a car on the road. He is off leash trained and has learned to love his newfound freedom, knowing his fosters are right behind him and aren't going to leave him stranded. He hasn't full on swam, but he has gotten his feet wet in the mountain lakes! One of my foster ladies took me to Murdock's and tried to introduce me to the cat there who was on it's perch, and I didn't care about it. He initiates play with other dogs and loves to do some zoomies in the yard. His foster family really couldn't imagine life without him so they made the decision that he had truly found his forever home.
