Pico is a little 3 year old long-coat male with diabetes. He's not on available for adoption yet since he was just rescued earlier this month. His owner didn't want to deal with giving him insulin, so he was dumped at the pound and was close to death when rescued by our NC coordinator. He spent several days at the emergency vet clinic, which wound up costing around $2,000. He's doing much better now, but they're still working on determining the correct dosage of insulin and getting him totally stabilized. He's also having some behavioral problems, which his foster mom thinks is either a result of abuse or from his system being whacked out from going so long without insulin. He's safe now and getting the medical treatment he needs, and since he's so young and cute, we expect he'll be adopted even with the diabetes; it'll just take a little longer to find the right forever home for him.

Thanks!
