The dog that nearly froze to death last month was spoiled on his last day at the vet.
In December, Caesar was brought to the Kansas City Pet Project frozen, starving, unable to walk and in a comatose state.
He’s been improving the past few weeks, and on Friday he will go to a foster home.
"He'll have a home here; he'll get plenty of love," said Jackie Gates.
The timing couldn't be better. Gates had already been approved by the Missouri German Shepherd Rescue to foster, and she had been waiting for the right dog.
Nancy Campbell with the Missouri German Shepherd Rescue said Caesar got some extra love, including duck and blueberry treats, on his last day at the vet’s office.
Caesar's road to recovery is still a long one. His back right leg has been the biggest challenge. He will continue orthopedic therapy with the Plaza Animal Clinic.
Caesar is learning to walk on his own and is still in a harness. He was very curious in his new environment and sniffed around the kitchen and living room. He has a new orthopedic dog bed to sleep on that is five inches thick.
