When he arrived at Town Lake Animal Center, Dubby was a sorry-looking little puppy struggling with demodectic mange. Demodex is not contagious, and it is curable. But Dubby had such a severe case that he had lost almost all of his fur, and he had developed a scabby, crusty, smelly skin infection too. The poor little guy felt pretty rotten.
Dubby is growing back more than his fur; he's developing a star personality as well! He's now a very outgoing, outspoken, fearless little guy who's anxious to take on the world. Like a typical puppy, he's mouthy and teething right now, but Dubby is smart; he only chews on his toys—none of his foster parents' stuff!
