Help..Wounded warrior dog at high kill shelter.
Our information about Cuvo is as follows: He is about 8 years old and is a wounded warrior. He is military service trained in search & rescue, blind service, and detection of guns, drugs, and bombs. He lost his right eye to an attack and has some damage to his right ear and head. He seems nice and wants a good home.

Subject: ATHENS TN-- Military German Shepherd Dog at McMinn Animal Shelter in Athens, TN
Please help this dog if you have the room ! Something about this is not right - I cannot imagine how THIS dog ended up in the shelter. Would you please cross post as well.
Re: Wounded Military Dog in high kill shelter in TN
To All,
This story is bogus.
Investigations have reveiled that this dog is not a Trained MWD, not a "Wounded Warrior", not a goverment abandoned MWD, and not a trained service dog.
The person who posted this story was just trusting a facebook story she read.
No doubt this dog desirved a decent home, and no one would object to that, but misleading the public with the story that the Animal Shelter in Athen, TN posted is a shame, and a disgrace.
