The victim of near starvation, Heath is understandably wary of strangers and reluctant to trust anyone he does not know.
But this sweet, dainty boy is making a steady recovery and his progress will need to continue in a gentle home.
Heath is a Chihuahua, neutered, 4 years of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.
Heath gets along well with other dogs and yearns to feel loved and safe.
