SID's story

Sid is looking for a home!!

Sid, a sweet, 9-month-old pit mix, was found wandering roadside, dragging a chain from his neck. The chain had been attached around his neck when he was still a small pup, and as he grew, the chain did not—it became embedded in his skin. At the time he was found, the wound from the chain was open, bloody, and infected. He was taken in by PAW and given a three-hour surgery to remove the chain and stitch him back together. The most remarkable thing about Sid is that despite how painful and traumatic the experience must have been for him, he was kind and loving to his rescuers and vets.

He’s healing and recovering really nicely now and maintains puppy-like high spirits and energy around all people. He is such a sweetheart, and he seems great with dogs and children, too. If you live in the DC area and are interested in meeting Sid or any of the other PAW dogs, please visit www.paw-rescue.org or contact me via Flickr-mail!
