About Cairo

Adoption Fee: $150
Pharaoh Hound mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Originally from Hawaii, Cairo was surrendered to a local shelter in January after moving here to VA. The dog he lived with was having difficulties adjusting after the move, and the family felt they needed to down size. Cairo was adopted a short time after being made available for adoption - I mean who wouldn't want to adopt that cute little face! Unfortunately the people who adopted Cairo neglected to continue his regimen of oral and injectable allergy medications, and allowed his skin to develop sores throughout his entire body. They took him back to the shelter to re-surrender him, and the shelter called us. We obviously couldn't say no! Cairo is now in foster with a wonderful Veterinarian who is treating his skin, but it hasn't been without cost. He had to be sedated to have biopsies sent to the lab to figure out what was causing this intense skin condition. It turns out he had a deep seeded skin infection secondary to not receiving his allergy medications, but he also has developed an auto immune disorder and will require inexpensive, daily medications (an estimated monthly cost not to exceed $20/month). Luckily his personality has remained cheerful through it all. He would do best in a home with other dogs, but no cats. Cairo would make a great active companion for virtually any one.
