I can not even imagine a fully grown adult at 30 lbs. We rescued a bitch that we bred once. When we brought her to the vet she weighed 41 lbs. and I thought she could not have made it much longer. I hope this poor guy makes it and he finds a home with a wonderful family who will love him until his life is through.
