Animal depicted is Clooney and his rescue story is below:

Animal Control Officers saw a dog running down the street and he was in bad shape. They brought him to Stray Rescue's trauma center for immediate action and medical attention. Dr. Schulz and our incredible team of Vet Techs were ready for him when he arrived and saw his raw face. He appeared to have been in a bad dog fight and needed help quick. His face looked like shredded meat and his lips and part of his cheek hung. We cleaned his wounds and sewed him up. To our surprise, he awoke wagging his tail and was the sweetest boy. He was so grateful for help and the perfect patient. He's such a brave boy and is so deserving of a life full of love and without pain. The horrors street dogs face are far more violent than most people realize. Infection would have killed him and it would be very painful. But we gave him warmth, safety and full belly. He found is forever home with a Dad who loves him VERY much and actually just completed his last round of heartworm treatment at Stray Rescue's clinic!
