Please raise your glasses in honor of Hoover, formerly known as Darwin. Hoover recently passed away and his family is hurting without him by their side.
His dad David writes: We are deeply saddened to share the loss of our precious boy, Hoover. At around 12 years old, he peacefully fell asleep and drifted to the Rainbow Bridge, where he will run and play with his sister Valentine and other friends until we join them to cross the bridge together.
We adopted Hoover from Lone Star Bulldog Club Rescue in 2015. After being found very sick, wandering the streets, LSBCR gave this very special boy a second chance by providing him with medical care, a foster home and then adopting him to our family.
Hoover’s adoption profile stated that he had 100 lbs. of personality in a 50 lb. body (100% true!). He loved anyone who would give him attention. You could see in his eyes how much he appreciated his second chance with his forever family. In addition to his parents, Hoover adored his sister Angel, Auntie Devon, Auntie Angela and his grandparents.
Hoover gave us a tremendous amount of love. We will forever keep this precious boy in our hearts until we meet again.
David & John
Darwin has been ADOPTED!!! After being a stray and joining rescue with a list of issues longer than his legs, Darwin hit the JACKPOT. It was love at first sight and when Darwin put his personality in overdrive (as he always does)–forget about it. He will now be the crown prince of his new family. He no doubt will be spoiled rotten and want for nothing. Congrats to Darwin and his new family
Darwin is a 3 yr. old male that weights 54 lbs.
Darwin joined the Lone Star Bulldog Rescue family today. He comes from a local shelter where he was found running the streets as a stray. He comes to rescue with some skin issues, an eye infection and tail infection. He went directly to the clinic to get his treatment started. He has a great personality and was VERY insistent that he sit right next to his volunteer transporter. He is such a good actor that he wouldn’t walk at the shelter and had the attendant carry him around. Once he got in the transport car, he was walking all over giving kisses and wanting to be petted.
6/28/2015 Update: Darwin joined rescue 2.5 weeks ago and to say he was a HOT MESS when he arrived would be an understatement. He was found as a stray and taken to a local shelter. He was covered in fleas, his ears were bloody from fly bites and his tail was severely infected. Darwin spent six days at the clinic where they started working magic on him. He had to have entropin surgery, be neutered and have his tail amputated. He made a quick stop at his Aunt Renea’s because his foster dad was out of town, but finally made it to his foster home early this week. Darwin is 50lbs of short, squatty bulldog perfection. He is just gorgeous, but when you meet Darwin it’s his personality that grabs you. Darwin has 100 lbs. of personality in that 50 lb. body. He has been nicknamed Pushy Pusherton at his foster home. He loves to be ON your lap and has no problem pushing his way around and over anything and everything to get there. He is a bundle of excitement, he may even have Bulldog ADD since he gets easily distracted by EVERYTHING. With that said, he gets along well with everyone and everything. he loves to cuddle on the couch and just wants to be with his humans. He is healing well from his surgeries and his skin and fur are coming along nicely.
He goes to the clinic this week to get his stitches out and should be given a clean bill of health. the once HOT MESS of a bulldog is blossoming into a stunner. The little bulldog that is overflowing with charm and personality will have no problem finding his forever family
