“The dog has rotten skin spots, hair matted to the skin so bad it is ingrown into the skin, and the nails are 2 inches long,” the SPCA reported.
“His hair growth was about five years of matting,” said Kim Moyers, president of the South Plains SPCA, told KLBK-TV. “It’s just awful that he was probably seen in different places and overlooked. I don’t see how he hasn’t been seen roaming in the condition he was. I’ve never seen anything like him. It was shocking.”
His matted fur earned him the name Matt at the South Plains SPCA. Despite his horrible state, they decided to cure him and offer him a second opportunity.
