Update: Vinny has gone to a rescue group.

Vinny is a 3-5 year-old Pit Mix currently living at the PSPCA shelter. He urgently needs a temporary foster home. This came from a person who wants to adopt Vinny in a few months:

Can someone in West Philly near 50th and Baltimore foster this poor ringworm dog, Vinny? I can’t because of my current roommate situation – but I could come to your house to take care of him every day. I could walk him, feed him and play with him.

I am moving into my own apartment in a few months and would most likely be able to take on the fostering then. He is at the PSPCA and I want him to get out of there so he can heal, be in a loving environment, and not be at risk for being put down.

He has ringworm but the PSPCA will cover treatment and I think even obedience classes. This makes me really sad and I’m hoping someone can give him a chance. I have my own dog, so I know what I’m doing and would like him to have a playmate sometime. I would need to make sure they got along before fostering, though. Thanks.
