Too boney right now. Very malnourished when he was turned in.

Suppliment his food with:

- Greek Yogurt (NOT lowfat)
- Large curd cottage cheese
- Macaroni and cheese

To help put some meat on his bones - I'm sure you're exercising him a lot.

I'd also recommend a couple fo raw chicken backs (just rinse them under hot water as if you were going to cook it for yourself) once a week.

If you don't have tylan, molases is great for *ahem* disgestive issues that can come with a change in diet. Plain (cooked) sweet potatoes or canned pumkin (unflavored) is great, too.

He is doing great with eating and putting on weight. His skin and coat are healthy and beautiful. Thankfully, he was taken from the owner in the nick of time (he and his brother).

Sweet potatoes is a snack that these guys go crazy over.

He's a big, sweet, fluffy pooch - already 27 inches at the shoulder. He only weighed 52 pounds when we got him.

Nice dog man! Great to hear there's progress. Feed him up and he'll do just fine.

Aside from Animal cruelty, what upsets me the most are unwanted Animals that are bred from movies like "101 Dalmatians", they breed these dogs knowing their hyperactive and when the owners can no longer handle them, their either abandoned or taken to a shelter. I know their are good breeders out there, but I think there are more bad breeders than good.

You should see the Miami-Dade shelter. We used to do a lot of pulling and fostering for malinois rescue. There are "breeders" (and I use the term loosely) that breed an entire litter and keep 1 or 2 and just dump the rest off at the shelter (overnight). The rescue coordinator used to tell me that they considered it a good morning if they had fewer than ten animals leashed / caged to the entrance.

The issue is unethical breeders and unethical (and uneducated) owners. We make sure in our puppy contracts that the owner will NOT bring it to a shelter or rescue - they can even call us if they can no longer care for the animal and we'll take it back no questions asked.

This is an ages old problem and must be addressed by enacting and enforcing laws on the state and local level. I do not think that breed specific laws (no allowing certain breed ownership) is the answer. As you point out, this is the result of uneducated and irresponsible ownership.
