WELCOME ARDEN!!

Written by a CP Intakes Coordinator

Arden, derived from a Celtic word meaning "high", joined the CP family last Thursday. Poor Arden was a stray in Houston, TX, picked up by Animal Control. No one reclaimed this sweet little boy, and his time was limited to his stray hold. As in so many shelters, due to overcrowding, the stray hold ends, and so do any chances for dogs that are not highly adoptable. Arden is not what most families are looking for when they visit a shelter, he has skin issues including mild hairloss and scabs, his eyes were filled with gunk and he was covered with fleas, and in desperate need of a bath.

On his first night out of the shelter, he kept his crate clean all night, and didn't make a sound. He walked fairly well on lead, and barked a couple of times at a noise in a neighbor's yard. He rode quietly in the car.

Thanks to Sandy A., Arden is now safe at a local vet, has been bathed, and given his flea treatments. He will be brought up to date on his medical care, and be ready to follow his own path to HIGH COTTON!

Welcome Arden!
