Kohl – Southern California

24. Jan, 2010 0 Comments

Kohl 12/09 (who was named Ace by the shelter in Utah where he came from) was found running in Cache County and was probably abandoned after hunting season ended. He is severely emaciated (should weigh 90# and is 65#) and though heartworm is not prevalent in SoCal, because of the condition he was found in, we tested him. He came back with a strong positive so now has to undergo heartworm treatment.

Kohl a month later

Update 1/10: Kohl has gained 10# and is starting to go through heartworm treatment. On top of that he had obviously had some kind of blunt force trauma (either hit with an object or a vehicle) as he had 5 brokenr ribs (which we discovered during x-rays to see how bad his heartworm infestation was).He won’t be ready for adoption for months due to the ongoing heartworm treatment (3 months of treatment).

He is turning into a beautiful boy, very large boned (65# when he arrived, he’s now 75# and should be probably in the 85# range eventually when he adds some muscle mass.

Kohl adores women, absolutely loves to be around them and flirts shamelessly. He’s very loving and gives kisses. He can be mouthy (soft mouthed) and is working on learning the word “gentle” He has a very sweet disposition tempered with the typical weimaraner stubbornness. He, like the typical weimarner, is very smart and is making great strides as he obviously had no training whatsoever. He can use a dog door, knows sit, is working on stay and is extremely food motivated. He is good with older kids who are confident around larger dogs as he doesn’t know his own size/strength.
