Aero never knew what it was like to be a pet. He never had a chance. We were contacted by a busy city shelter to alert us to a cruelty case involving a Siberian who was dangerously thin, filthy and matted.
Our hearts went out to Aero when we met him ~ his muscle mass had deteriorated, his confidence had faltered and yet he looked up at us with a glimmer of hope… and the tail wagged ever so softly. We knew we had to try and put the pieces together again for this broken and abused Siberian.
Aero didn't even know his name. We suspect no one ever called him by his name, probably never called him at all. He came into the rescue physically sick from starvation and neglect and at first refused to even eat or drink. We feared he had given up. This poor senior Siberian had been harmed in so many ways and yet he began to trust once again. He was given small frequent meals and his tummy began to adjust and the long road to recovery began ~ both physically and emotionally.
Aero, also known affectionally as Bobo, has recovered physically though we fear his past abuse and neglect has taken it's toll. He does, however, remain food aggressive (no doubt!) and will not be adopted for this reason. He is fed separately and has no other apparent issues other than some stiffness and perhaps a bit of senility.
Aero is happy, finally. And we are happy to have him. He will be a loved member of MaPaw for what we hope is a very long time.
