Emaciated Dog Given Up Because He Was “Bad At Hunting,”
When Roosevelt was surrendered to a shelter by his owner because he was “bad at hunting,” his entire world was about to change. Thankfully for the better. Shelter staff could see the telltale signs of abuse written all over the pups body. He was skinny, frail, weak, and appeared to be behaving very shy and timid around everyone.
Roosevelt was pulled from the shelter by the Northeast Coonhound Rescue, who specializes in rescuing dogs dumped at shelters after hunting season is over. Many of the dogs this rescue group takes in are coonhounds and beagles, most of whom are simply abandoned and left to fend for themselves once the season is over.
Roosevelt was quite and shy, however, that didn’t stop his new dad Noah Leavitt for seeing him for what he truly is: a loving and kind dog. Leavitt says,
“He was quiet at first, which is rare for a coonhound, but now he’s very talkative.”
Roosevelt was so hungry when he got to his new home, that he ate any and everything he could find. Unfortunately, this even meant his dad’s lamp post, as illustrated in the image below.
Since finding his new home, Roosevelt has gained an incredible 30 pounds and is said to be happy, and healthy. Gone are his days of being forced to hunt and deprived of food. He has Leavitt to thank for a life he could only imagine just a few short months ago.
Leavitt concludes,
“He’s goofy. So goofy. He definitely likes attention and loves being around people. He also thinks he’s a lapdog. If I’m sitting on the couch he’ll sometimes just jump right on top of me.”
Roosevelt is said to love the outdoors, nature, and chases everything he sees on his walk looking to discover and learn. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
