Mendocino arrived at Oakland Animal Services as a stray with Parvovirous, a serious illness that can be deadly without immediate care.
He was frightened, weak, and sick. But he wasn’t alone.
Thanks to FOAS supporters, he was able to receive CPMA (Canine Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibodies, a new parvovirus treatment), recuperate in a patient foster home, and attend shelter playgroups once he recovered and returned to the shelter for adoption.
Every day, someone was there for him.
Every day, he was surrounded by love.
And slowly… he began to regain his strength and show his goofy personality.
Today, Mendocino is healthy, happy, and adopted!

From Mendocino’s (now Franklin) humans:
Mendocino is, of course, a good boy. His name now is Franklin, and he is settling in nicely in our sleepy corner of San Francisco.
He’s not the biggest fan of the uphill parts of our walks, but the sniffaris and treats for checking in definitely make up for it.
We’re so happy to have him be part of our family, and that will only grow as we get to know each other.
