Shelter dogs often express their desperation for a loving forever family differently. Some curl up in a corner to hide their heartbroken faces from the world, especially if they’ve been waiting for a home for too long. Others circle inside their kennels non-stop because they just can’t remain still in the face of deep-seated kennel stress. Then there are those who, as desperate as they are, gather the strength to wag their tails and put on a hopeful face and a genuine smile.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
