Meet Tyler

He came to us in need of medical attention.  Tyler sat at a shelter with an open wound to his foot, in pain, wanting for a warm bed to sleep on (please move your mouse over Tyler to see the extent of his injury).  He was a stray roaming for quite some time with injuries to his feet. Lab Rescue of Greater Richmond stepped in to give him a second chance.  Testing positive for Lymes disease, intestinal worms and terribly infected ears, Tyler is still wagging his tail.  He has the true spirit of the Labrador Retriever.  As you can see, his rear foot is severely infected and will need surgery to remove a couple broken toes once the infection is gone.  He was also born with one eye, which needs to be observed before surgery occurs to help him with that.

Update - August 6: Tyler is doing well. Over the last few weeks, his injury to his paw has been clearing up, and he is on his way for surgery soon. With good nutrition and care, his coat has turned into a healthy attribute. Tyler enjoys his foster home and his foster brother and sister, along with a cat too. He loves to run and play in the backyard, which is wonderful considering he still has a bad foot. This sweet personality will add joy to any home. We will update Tyler again after his surgeries are complete.
