Joey Wagner and the Baie Sainte Marie Animal Society have been working on behalf of Mojo, who was rescued in Clare and is now at the Parade Street Animal Hospital in Yarmouth.
“He’s got a long road ahead of him, but he’s doing better every day,” said Wagner.
Non-contagious demodectic mange is caused by a tiny mite that normally resides in most dogs. In animals with underdeveloped or impaired immune systems they can multiply to cause widespread inflammation, hair loss and in some cases develop into a life-threatening condition.
Besides the mange Mojo is suffering from malnutrition, severe dehydration and on Friday was on an IV drip for pain.
Wagner says he’s received many offers to adopt Mojo.
“We will make sure he will have a good life and will never suffer again,” he told the Vanguard.
