Sweet Hamlet was a puppy purchased from a 'breeder' by a man in west Texas who has a large ranch. After he purchased him, he realized something was wrong. He had a vet examine him and discovered he was blind and had HD.
When the rancher realized Hamlet would never be a livestock guardian due to his challenges, he had a choice, and he let the vet reach out to the National Anatolian Shepherd Rescue Network for help.
When he first came into rescue, Hamlet couldn’t even stand up because of the pain. Foster mom Tara took him to our vet. After he started rimadyl and his pain level was under control, he started walking and following her dogs around. She and her dogs helped little Hamlet gain confidence, and find his way in a dark world.
Several months later, Hamlet was listed for adoption through the rescue and was adopted by a wonderful family. He is now a little over two years old and thriving. Thanks to the NASRN rescue group for saving these livestock guardians all over the country.
