This is Utley. He is estimated to be between 6-7 years old.  Utley was wandering stray for over a year. Finally someone called for help for this pitiful fella. He barely had any hair, and his skin was raw and bloody. He scratched himself to the point of sheer exhaustion. His greatest wish was relief.

Utley is now receiving the treatment his poor little body desperately needs. He has demodectic mange, as well as flea allergy dermatitis. Compounding both of these issues, he has also created a secondary bacterial infection on his skin from scratching himself. Neither one of these conditions is contagious to humans, other dogs, or cats.

Utley come a long way since those pitiful pictures were taken. The sores on his body have all healed up, and all but a small amount of his fur has grown back a shiny black color. He is still being treated with medication, but hopefully it will not be much longer until we can discontinue his medication for good.

Utley loves to play. Whether he is playing with his foster mom or his doggie brothers and sisters, he is having a blast! He is housebroken, and crate trained. He goes into his kennel well if you give him a good boney to chew on. Utley is now in a foster home where he gets to sleep in his humans bed at night, and boy does he love it. He likes to sleep down by my feet, and in the middle of the night, I find that he has moved up closer to be with me. With his even keel personality,  Don't miss out on your chance to give a true Rags to Riches dog a place in your home....and your heart!

Utley is a great boy! He is now on a special diet to help his skin, and only requires one topical application of a medication monthly to keep his skin issues under control! He is such a laid back, easy going guy! Please don't overlook this fella! He has come such a long way, and yearns for a home of his very own!Utley is getting better and better. His hair is growing in and looking great. He is a spunky guy who would love a family of his own to give him all the attention he deserves.

Utley is still looking for his forever home! He would do best in a home with no cats, and no small dogs. He does great with dogs his size or bigger. He loves kids, and is housbroken. Won't you give this guy the home he deserves?
