From the Great Pyrenees Rescue Society Facebook post:

Sweet Cayman is finally feeling good enough to get up and get moving!  His awesome medical foster is making him lots of high quality food to try and help him gain weight and is monitoring his recover very closely.  He is making great progress, especially considering where he started, but he still has a long way to go.  He loves his foster siblings and is finally learning how to "dog" very well!   Saralynn

Medical Biography

Cayman

Volunteering for an animal rescue is always highly rewarding but there are those times we receive a call about a dog who's story is utterly heartbreaking!   Cayman is a 3 year-old, unaltered male, and owner surrender turned into a shelter.  Cayman came into the shelter in dreadful condition. His rear left leg was completely fractured, which his doctors indicated had to have been broken at least 2-3 months prior-the suffering he endured must have been agonizing!  Also, someone had attempted to "repair" the fracture with a botched home-made wire wrapped under his skin around the broken bones.

Medical Biography

Klause is a beautiful young male about 1 1/2 years old that was found with barbed wire around his back leg.  The injury had been allowed to fester and the damage was so severe that amputation was the only option.  Fortunately, Klause is young and optimistic so he didn't let this affect his joy for life!  Klause may have special needs but he found his special place in this world.  Here is from his adopter:

Klause Lebowski, or Bowski is just plain wonderful!  He is definitely part of the pack and it seems like he has been here forever.  He is such a good boy!!!  And he is the lovingest guy in the world.  He would let you pet, hug, and kiss him 24/7.  He is getting around great.  He loves to go on walks,  runs around the house like lightening, and loves to destroy toys.  He hasn't met a treat or any food that he doesn't love.  His fur has all grown back and it is almost 2 inches long.  He and Cisco are best buds.  He adores balls of all sizes and has gone through at least six of those big ropes with knots.  Here's a picture of his fuzzy butt.  Oh, and we are still going through the great spring shed!  OMG!  I have never seen so much white downy fur everywhere in my life!  Lol.  Scott has been brushing him every other day.  I started collecting the fur in the beginning and have a big bag.  I'm guessing it will stop soon.  But we love him more than anything!
