Default South Bend boy who was starved & HW+

Happy happy update on the older shelter boy who was severely underweight, terrified of people and HW+ in April 2008. This dog was in such horrible shape that I was afraid he wouldn't last through a long transport. Animal Placement Bureau (Lansing, Michigan) came through with a knowledgeable foster nearby, and this boy has made a fabulous come back. He's had his last HW shot, weighs a solid 113 pounds, and has all the confidence in the world.
So many of you expressed care and concern for him (I named him Elijah), so now you know. He's doing great and looks gorgeous!
