 UPDATE ON COSTELLO……Look at this incredible boy how happy he is. He had surgery to repair his face and leg last week and is doing wonderful. His face is healing beautifully. It is hard to believe this time last week he was in so much pain and the entire left side of his face was almost torn off. Dr. Rich Bink at Coastal Vet. Clinic did his surgery 15 minutes after he was brought in. He then repaired his leg as much as he could, given how little tissue he had to deal with. The leg is still swelling and draining a lot but but as you can see from the photos, it is not holding him back. Cos as I call him is the sweetest dog. We have not seen any aggression toward people or other animals. He is a love bug that wants to give kisses all day long and run around. It is like he knows he is finally safe and can enjoy his new found freedom in a loving caring environment. We will have Cos for several months while he heals and is thoroughly evaluated before being placed. Thanks for caring and helping us save this wonderful dog.

Costello is healing, thanks to all who gave him the help he needed!
