condor

Condor ACCT-A-261827 is a 3-year-old male who came in as a stray on 9/21. Finder noted that he is “skinny with fleas.” Condor is a friendly boy who seems a little more independent at first, but will still come over readily for pets! Condor loves toys but will drop them for more affection & attention as well! Unfortunately, Condor was very skinny with muscle wasting, and a large amount of diarrhea was found in his kennel. He was noted to be cachetic, and due to these concerns, he is looking for a rescue to take him in for more extensive care. Could you give caring Condor a place to land?
