If a person can no longer care for their pet, most rescue organizations would agree on one thing. They ask that you call or bring the dog into a shelter and never to abandon them.
Sadly, folks at the Wanderers’ Rest Humane Association in Cazenovia, New York found an abandoned elderly dog on their premises. What made the situation incredibly heartbreaking was the condition of the dog.

The Great Pyrenees was tied to a sled with a bucket of water and a note which read, “Over 10 years old. Can no longer walk.”
“I cried the day he came in and I want to cry just looking at him and how much he’s improved it just, he melts my heart,” stated Sabrina Wilcox, Executive Shelter Manager at Wanderers’ Rest Humane Association.

After posting images of the dog to Facebook, the rescue group never imagined the huge outpouring of love and support he would receive. The dog has since been named Perry.
Perry was diagnosed with two forms of Lyme disease and his fur was incredibly matted and stuck to his skin. As a result, he had issues walking.

Now the dog, estimated to be 11 or 12 years of age, isn’t slowing down. The woman currently fostering Perry or a physical therapist is considering adopting him.
Watch Perry after he was groomed and started receiving proper treatment in the video below. We wish you all the best, sweetie!
