*** SAFE 01/18/18 *** VIDEO & NEW PHOTOS — (SAKI IS DIABETIC AND HYPERTHYROID) SAKI & TAKO were brought in together by the finder who found them outside and wanted to protect them from the cold weather. SAKI is lethargic and needs immediate medical care. He is at high risk of being euthanized if his condition deteriorates. Please help these senior duos today. TAKO is not listed tonight but it would be lovely if someone would step up with a retirement home for these two abandoned oldsters together……
