Many stray and neglected dogs go ungroomed, causing them distress as their fur becomes tangled and matted. But a haircut can make all the difference.<\/p>\n
That was the case recently, after one dog covered in severely matted fur got a makeover that\u2019s given him a new lease on life.<\/p>\n
On July 16, the South Plains SPCA shared a post about the \u201cworst case of dog neglect we have ever encountered.\u201d A 6-year-old dog was covered in extremely matted, thick fur, and was in poor shape.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe dog has rotten skin spots, hair matted to the skin so bad it is in grown into the skin, the nails are 2 inches long,\u201d the SPCA reported.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis hair growth was about five years of matting,\u201d said Kim Moyers, president of the South Plains SPCA, told KLBK-TV. \u201cIt\u2019s just awful that he was probably seen in different places and overlooked. I don\u2019t see how he hasn\u2019t been seen roaming in the condition he was. I\u2019ve never seen anything like him. It was shocking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
