uodate - rescued!!!Frankfort KY: Senior Beagle Needs Rescue ASAP

Blue, a male Beagle, has lived the last 9 years chained outside without the comforts of a real home.  Today, 11/13/13, he had very little frozen water in the bottom of a bucket and no straw or bedding in his plastic dog house when animal control visited the home.  When the animal control officer confronted the owners they relinquished him and he is now at the county shelter.  He has missing teeth and others that are ground down to the roots so he needs dental work done.  We have vaccinated him and treated him for worms.  He weighs 23 lbs and is very friendly despite the life he has lead thus far.  At his age and with such bad teeth he will not get adopted here so we are begging a rescue to please save him.  We will assist with out of state transport.  Pictures are attached.  If you can help please contact the shelter's Rescue Coordinator at rescuebrigade@gmail.com
