The Dodo

8/7/2024
This matted dog had more than 6 pounds of extra fur on his body — wait till you see how cute he is after his haircut ❤️ We talked to his rescuers about how he was one of the worst cases of matting they’d ever seen, and what a good boy he is now!

Could you imagine seeing this, like, if they caught it as a stray or something, just seeing
00:09
this walk down the road?
00:10
People have seen it.
00:11
It's true.
00:12
Sort of looked like a prehistoric creature.
00:23
Looked like he had, like, six legs.
00:24
Seeing him try to move with all of that air, it was absolutely heartbreaking.
00:37
He could barely walk.
00:38
He was very, very hot and just couldn't even regulate his own body temperature.
00:47
We have seen a lot of matted cases.
00:50
Simon is definitely up there with one of the worst ones that we've ever seen.
00:59
Simon was found in Kansas City, Missouri.
01:01
He was brought in.
01:02
You know, immediately we knew that we needed to get him help.
01:03
He doesn't want to get too tight.
01:04
He's like, he's relatively happy.
01:05
Like, I mean, like, he was just chilling.
01:06
Listen, how much extra do you want to give him?
01:27
0.2, so she got 0.7.
01:34
This is such a tedious job to get all of that done.
02:33
This dog's handling six and a half pounds of hair.
02:54
That is a significant amount for a dog that size.
02:59
The process took around two hours.
03:59
And then he was put on medical hold for the duration of his hospital stay.
04:17
He's not as skinny as I thought he would be.
04:32
He's just sort of like his own man.
04:33
Like, he loves to explore.
04:34
What are you doing, sweetie?
04:35
Good job, dude.
04:37
You know, every day that he was here, he was just healing.
04:43
And it took him a long time just to learn how to really walk again normally.
04:58
One of our staff members, she took him home over the weekend so he didn't have to stay
05:09
in the shelter.
05:10
He really started showing off his personality then.
05:13
And she has a boxer that he immediately just fell in love with.
05:19
And he was really, really cute.
05:21
He would lick the boxer.
05:23
He just loved her boxer so much.
05:30
A couple weeks later, potential adopters came in.
05:33
And he got in the bed, and he was just snuggling, doing things that we had never really ever
05:37
beaten him to do before.
05:39
OK, so there's your dog.
05:42
So she got over on to the special diet food.
05:46
Yeah.
05:47
Y'all are going to love it.
05:48
Lots of toys.
05:50
He's just spinning and spinning.
05:52
He's like, hey, comfy.
05:53
Yeah.
05:55
Hi.
05:56
Hi, Miss Missy.
05:57
He's probably really itchy.
05:58
Yeah, Missy does that too.
05:59
I've just seen a lot of the same behaviors that Missy has.
06:01
Yeah, she does.
06:02
He does.
06:03
It's really cute, though, whatever it is.
06:05
Are you scratching?
06:06
Are you scratching?
06:07
It feels really good.
06:08
Are you scratching?
06:09
Oh.
06:10
Oh, my goodness.
06:11
Look at that tail wagging.
06:12
I see that tail going crazy.
06:13
They were just scratching on him, and he was loving it.
06:17
Go for it.
06:18
How do you like tummy rubs?
06:19
Go for it.
06:20
How do you like tummy rubs?
06:21
Do you like tummy rubs?
06:23
I haven't tried the tummy.
06:24
He does love the ear scratches.
06:25
Yeah.
06:26
Do you like tummy rubs?
06:27
Oh, my.
06:29
Are you bored?
06:30
I saw all kinds of teeth in there.
06:32
Everybody loved, like, the tongue.
06:35
Yes, his tongue just, like, can't get anything out.
06:37
He's got a long tongue.
06:38
Uh-huh.
06:39
Just kind of unfurls.
06:40
Oh, there we go.
06:41
Yeah.
06:42
Absolutely.
06:43
He just looks happy as a cucumber.
06:44
Just like a leaf.
06:45
So, you guys talked about, like, his little teeth.

Bye-bye.
07:21
Thank you for taking such good care of me!
07:22
Yay!
07:23
We're so happy.
07:24
Congratulations.
07:26
And it was just a wonderful experience to be able to see him leaving the shelter and
07:29
knowing the journey that it took to get him to that spot, knowing all that he went through
07:35
before he came to Casey Pet Project, for him to just go out and live out the rest of his
07:40
days in a home is wonderful.
