dj :: purebred irish setter

DJ FOUND HIS FOREVER FAMILY WITH OUR PARENTS!


DJ is a three-and-a-half-year-old bundle of love!  He is a big ol' wiggle worm that is just happy to be near you.  He was surrendered to Tennessee Valley Golden Retriever Rescue by his former family in very poor shape.  Though we were told he was purchased from a Golden Retriever breeder, there is little doubt that he's really an Irish Setter, but we love him anyway!  He had lived outside his entire life and had probably never seen a brush (a big deal with a Irish Setter).  He was COVERED in mattes, and his ears were caked with layers and layers of earwax that had turned into a very unpleasant tar-like substance.  After two hours of brushing, an entire bottle of powerful ear cleaning gel, one flea bath, one oatmeal bath, and lots of clipping and buzzing he started to look like someone actually cared.  He's taking very well to a life of couch-laying and air conditioning!  His skin and coat are looking and feeling better everyday, and he's ready for his forever home!
