Yankee's story

　　I'd like to be a 'Yankee Doodle Dandy' but actually I'm more like the 'Heartbreak Kid'. Hello, folks, my name is Yankee and I'm worried that this might be my last chance at a happy home! I'm already 10 years old and I was raised in a little pen in the back of someone's yard - in the heat of the summer and the cold of the winter. So I've been a tough guy throughout but then those folks moved and just left me behind in my pen. Broke my heart. Somebody took me to a shelter and then AGB came and got me out. The vets have checked me out; I weigh 50 pounds and I've been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. As expected, I'm heart worm positive and must begin treatment because nobody took care of me like they should have. Also, I've got minor aches and pains from arthritis. But all this hasn't changed my happy, goofy personality. And I'm a good looking, red haired older gentleman, as you can see, who is very sweet and loving. I like people and most other dogs, unless they're scary. The AGB folks tell me that I deserve to while away my remaining years inside a warm house with a loving hand on my head and a big, soft bed to sleep in. Perhaps you would donate to my medical fund to get rid of these heart worms and then I could find my new people to love. Thank you from Yankee.
