The BC SPCA is hoping someone can reel in Fish, nine.

Fish is an emaciated Labrador retriever mix dog found by a good Samaritan in a remote area of Enderby, near Kingfisher.

He was so sad looking,sa国际传媒� said Meranda Dussault, manager of the BC SPCAsa国际传媒檚 Shuswap animal centre. sa国际传媒淗is finder brought him directly to the animal centre and we took him straight to the vet. Fish was one of the skinniest, most malnourished dogs I have seen.

Fish had to undergo several tests to ensure his internal organs were still functioning after such a lengthy period of starvation.

Once healthy enough the pup will have to have dental surgery and be neutered.

Staff at the Shuswap shelter said Fish is resilient and has a unique personality, where itsa国际传媒檚 clear to see he is a true fighter who is always happy despite the condition he was found in.

Dussault believes it is true luck Fish came out of the woods when he did and was found by the Good Samaritan so that the dog could receive the treatment and care he needs.

Fish urgently needs a foster from the area so he can continue to recover and heal in the comfort of a home. If you are interested, you can contact the BC SPCAsa国际传媒檚 Shuswap animal centre. Fish will be available for adoption in approximately three weeks.
