Senior Alert. Helping Paws in Chambers County networks dogs in the Chambers County Pound located in Anahuac, TX. It is a rural pound that despite a lot of local publicity has almost no local adoptions. Very few rescues pull from Chambers. Washington is a current resident. This Chocolate Lab has had no interest and we feel that due to the current state of where adoptions are in the nation, especially in Texas, his outlook is grim. Animal Control was called on a welfare check because Washington was seen by a neighbor. He was in terrible shape on intake: skinny, skin issues, limping, lumps and bumps on his legs and his ear is hard with scar tissue. The owners were convinced to surrender Washinton to the county and now, he is on the kill list. Today, he is considerably better but deserves a soft bed to lay on instead of hard concrete and plastic elevations. His hips were quite narrow on intake. He has filled out since intake but he still limps. Imagine that your life is so terrible that you improve on a pound. There are suspicious lumps and bumps. When we give dog beds, they usually become soiled and wet so quickly, the caregivers just throw them away within a few days. Washington's spirits are good. He wags his tail and smiles when volunteers come to vet dogs. His energy level has raised and he wiggles and wants attention. He deserves more. They all do. Pound full. Fees negotiable.
