This tenacious tyke is Sonar and, as is plainly obvious, some scumbag cut his ears off with a crude, surgical implement—probably a knife or razor. I found Sonar at the Bakersfield Pound shortly after he was brought in. The awesome KCAC staff let me bring him up to Tehachapi immediately, which was crucial because severe open wounds like Sonar’s make a pup very susceptible to infection and disease. Dr. Anderson took a look at him and sent us home with antibiotics and instructions to keep his ears clean and treated. At first Sonar was a bit in shock, running a fever and incredibly scared. His apprehension has begun to dissolve and the other dogs here have not let him retreat into fear. Sonar has developed a great relationship with Ludwig (our 130 lb. Saint Bernard) and forged an adorable bond with Chloe, our Pit mix pup that we rescued from the same shelter. As I write this, the two of them keep me focused on my work by providing a constant background of play-banter, untying my shoelaces and chewing on my cell phone charger. Sonar will make a full recovery but will always bear the scars of his tormented past.
If you are interested in being a part of his glorious future, please contact Zach at 661-972-3852 or email zach@marleysmutts.com.

Sonar’s Story Goes Nationwide!
Examiner.com picked up Kelsey Thomas' story & interview with Zach and Sonar.
I cannot believe the cruelty of people, Sonar has such a sweet face and I know he will find an amazing home, but just in case I am going to email this little guys story on to a friend of mine, whose dad lives on a farm and has been looking for another dog. Thank you so much Zach for your amazing help to these very loving animals.

Thank You for saving Sonar & all the others! I sent you an email.
Thank you so much for taking this beautiful puppy Sonar and helping her heal. I often wonder when I see all the horror stories about abuse, “How can the word Human be in Humanity” But when I see you, and Zack, and all the great work you do, I know that you are Angels on earth. Thank you a million times.
Thank you for helping Sonar,to heal and all the other animals you help.All of this abuse just has to stop. My heart breaks everytime I read about animal abuse. Hope this person is found!
Has he found a home? Or is he still adoptable??
He is just the cutiest little thing. I can’t believe someone would be so mean.
I am so in love with Sonar! I wish I could have him!
I really want to adopt this dog. He really pulls at my heart strings. I think he would fit in perfectly with me and Ryie. My boxer of 6 yrs. I can’t believe someone would do this to this precious baby.
