Nobody Wanted This Dog Because Of How He Looked

He's so handsome now. Mr. Magoo's rescuer told us how grateful he was to finally get out of the shelter — and he LOVED his first bark-cuterie board!

00:00You could tell that he didn't think he was going with anybody.

00:04So many people had walked by his kennel and passed him by.

00:10You could just see how badly he needed out.

00:14Something about him just spoke to me and I felt horrible for him.

00:20I was at the shelter that day for the sole purpose of rescuing Mr. Magoo.

00:24Once he knew he was getting out, his eyes lit up and he was so happy.

00:36We left the shelter.

00:41I wanted to foster Mr. Magoo because I am just a sucker for the underdog

00:45and he was very much an underdog.

00:49When he first came home with me, he was really sweet but very mellow.

00:54He was very sick so he didn't do much. He mostly just slept.

01:02He had a really bad skin condition.

01:04So to make him feel better, he had multiple baths every week to help soothe the skin a little bit.

01:11Took him about a week to start feeling a little bit better

01:14and then he slowly started to have more energy.

01:16He's comical. I don't know how else to describe him.

01:20The tongue is out all the time.

01:24When we discovered that he loves fruits and vegetables,

01:26we were just so excited that he's a nice healthy eater and we thought,

01:30well, you know what we should do?

01:31We need to have a little picnic.

01:33We decided to put together the barcooterie board for him.

01:41He just went bananas for it.

01:48Carrot, biscuit.

01:50It is really rewarding when you rescue a dog like Mr. Magoo,

01:55who was probably just kept outside 24-7 for the first few years of his life.

02:00So it's like he was experiencing anything and everything for the very first time.
