DESCRIPTION
Pistachio, goes by Pete, is an adorable guy who has overcome so much already! When he first arrived to SAAP, he was missing all the fur on his lower end due to fleas and neglect. Since arriving in his foster home, he has learned what the good life is! He does occasionally have some skin issues that flare up, but they don’t occur often (likely allergies).
