Description:

Turkish is an incredibly loving dog; who just wants to please! He was found injured as a stray. Both front legs had been hurt. He has been to the vet, where he has been neutered,teeth cleaned (and bad ones removed). The sores on his legs were most likely due to being tired up in yard and ignored. When dogs are neglected in this way; they will often lick and chew on themsleves out of nervousness. He has had bloodwork and a fulll check up. The vet says he is a healthy boy now! He walks well on a leash and knows his basic commands. He is really smart; and very willing to learn. Turk has had such a rough start in his life.
