We are just smitten with his personality, but heartbroken over his story. It took a village to get Smittey to where he is today and we are so overjoyed at the thought of him having a forever home. It is our promise to Smittey that he will never have to endure this type of pain and suffering again for as long as he lives. Smittey was brought into the Floyd County Animal Shelter in Kentucky by animal control with a broken jaw. His teeth, tongue, and gums were exposed. After a thorough examination it was discovered that there were bullet fragments in his jaw which led to one sickening conclusion.. someone had shot Smittey in the face. He also tested positive for heartworm and Lyme and is currently undergoing treatment. After multiple vet examinations and X-rays it was determined that his jaw would heal on it’s own and he would not require surgery. His jaw has now fully healed although he will always have a crooked smile as a reminder of what he has been through. Smittey will require a soft food diet for life and will need to avoid vigorous chewing and rough play using his mouth (ie. tug of war) to ensure that he does not re-injure his jaw. Smittey was moved from the shelter to one of our wonderful foster partners where he will stay until his heart worm treatment concludes. Smittey is dog friendly and very well behaved. He is a gentle soul who deserves a chance. He absolutely adores human attention and has been friendly, loving, and gentle to all even during his vet appointments where he was poked and prodded. He is a talkative husky with silly antics who is extremely smart and eager to learn!
