Kumar's Story

Like most of our Streetdogs, Kumar has had a rough start in life. In this case, rougher than most. Kumar was hit by a car and left for dead. A kind lady saw this and ran to his aid. She loaded him in her car and took him to the animal hospital. Kumar had several broken bones, including a particularly nasty compound fracture of his leg. He still bears the scars of this injury today.

It became evident right away that Kumar had been beaten; apparently often, and by one or more men. He was wary of women, but Kumar had no trust at all for men. It took over a year to get this boy rehabilitated,

Kumar was born in 2012 and is a Shepherd/Canaan mix. He is a big lovable pup with a lot of personality! He loves to play outside and go on walks and car rides. Kumar is very trusting and loyal to “his” humans, but can be shy with new people. He enjoys quiet time, and would be best with a family without children and a calm home. His foster says that he loves kitties, and squeaky toys! Don’t worry- he waits until the morning alarm rings to start squeaking his favorite toy. He also loves to be brushed and even vacuumed! His foster mom says “He is really one of the most loving, trusting dogs I've ever met."
