Dexter aka Schatzi

Dexter, formerly Schatzi, was brought to the local shelter to be killed because of a treatable skin condition. Austin Pets Alive couldn't let that happen. They took him into foster care to heal and found him a new home with one of their volunteers. Watch this adorable little guy blossom as he gets love and care for the first time in his short life.

  • Leaving the shelter thanks to APA
  • Untitled photo
  • After one week with APA.
  • Missing most of his fur and only stopped scratching to eat.
  • His ligaments weren't growing fast enough to support his joints. - an effect of malnourishment. There is some incredibly pathetic video of him struggling to walk on his crooked legs.
  • After 3 weeks with his foster, they thought his mange was cured. Turns out it was really demodectic mange, not sarcoptic as they first thought because he was so itchy. Or he had both kinds of mange.
  • He's a sweet boy...
  • ready for a forever home
  • in spite of his lousy start in life
  • At his new home one month after APA rescued him.
