Meet Zorba (The Greek?)!!

Does this pose make me look Zorba-esque??

  
So??  Whaddya think?  I'm no longer a Buddha-Pest!!

You might be familiar with Zorba the Greek , but this Zorba is Hungarian. Yes, he has the European look and this handsome Senior boy was whelped in Hungary. His owner called IDR about giving him up and in spite of their agreement to take him they decided to drop him off at the city Animal Control. Two hours later an IDR volunteer was there to get him. At the time he he was pulled from the shelter he was covered in fleas with no muscle mass in his hindquarters. The owner left a pile of paperwork and records documenting years of training which all took place in Hungary and Serbia before he was sold to them in the U.S. This poor guy showed a body worn out from poor care. He had callouses and his femurs were visible under his fur. It’s clear he was either crated a lot or lived in a small confined area on a hard surface. His temperament is still being evaluated due to his training background, but he was displaying typical intact male ‘doggy’ behavior before he saw IDR’s vet. It will take some time for his years of testosterone to work out of his system after the neuter so until then, he will remain under evaluation. They were told he lived with other dogs in his previous home but there is no detail as to how that went. He will not be placed with a home with children because his protective training history can indicate a high prey drive.
