Stray dog makeover!

A stray dog that was found wandering the streets was brought in to us this morning in desperate need of some TLC. When the small black schnauzer-mix came in, it was one giant hairball full of mats. We knew this dog desperately needed a bath and grooming to remove all the mats. The dog was definitely on the skinny side, but other than that appeared to be in good health. The little dog was extremely patient while we shaved and brushed all the mats out of his fur. He barely moved while being groomed, other than being a tiny bit sensitive with his face and feet. He had so many mats that by the time we were done grooming he only had a little bit of hair left on his face and feet. After his grooming session, we gave the dog a bath. We also tested the dog for heartworms (which was negative) and gave him a rabies vaccine. After enjoying a meal of canned food (porterhouse steak flavor), the dog is now napping in a warm cozy bed. We are now in the process of finding the little dog a sweater so he stays warm in this cold weather. We took before, during and after pictures of the little dog's makeover which we will post very soon.
