A matted dog was discovered wandering alone near Barking Mad Dog Rescue, and the staff was surprised to find him in such a state.
Hayley, a staff member, shared, “We found Barny near our shelter in a small village called Nisipari in Romania. The shelter is quite remote, so we believe someone left him there for us to find. We don’t know where he came from or how he came to be in such a terrible condition.”
It was difficult to tell if Barny was even a dog because of the long matted fur covering his face.
The poor matted dog has been through so much that his new friends at the shelter wanted to make him comfortable.
“He was VERY scared and didn’t want to be touched or handled,” Hayley added.
The vet at BMDR decided to sedate the matted dog before shaving the dirty, matted fur. He also decided to fix any injuries he discovered during the process, clean his teeth and give him complete grooming. The process took several hours, but once it was done, the staff could not recognize Barny.
After shaving all the matted fur, Barny was a completely new dog.
Hayley added, “Barny is a real cheeky character and is settled in really well at the shelter. He’s learning to trust and gets better every day.”
Barny’s identity as a matted dog is behind him. He is making new friends at the shelter and looking for a permanent home.
