Saturday was a great day for me: Adoption Day!
My new family are no strangers to rescue and my new sister, Tooty (formerly Caroline), was my foster mom’s very first foster dog.
Tooty has been lonely since her brother Big E (formerly Eli) left for the Rainbow Bridge. My new parents, Cathy and Trent, were heartbroken too. They wanted to open their home to another Bulldog as they knew there were so many in rescue waiting for families.
I’ve relocated to Colorado and will now get to enjoy a relaxing and spoiled life. Don’t worry ~ our first pit stop on our way home was Buc-ee’s.
I still have a few weeks of heartworm treatment jail, but I am already the best boy at resting. On the way home, I caught up on my sleep, as I wanted to be completely awake to check out my new home.
I know Tooty and I are going to be the best of friends!
I am so lucky my family picked me.
Thank you, rescue, supporters and Bright Star Vet Clinic, for helping me enjoy the rest of my life!
This heat ain’t no joke and these paws are not made for walking around town!
When the local animal control picked me up and put me in the front seat, the first thing they asked was, “Where are you going?”
Well, I had no idea. I just knew I was tired of walking, and I was really hot!
I quickly became a favorite at the shelter. Everyone loved me. They named me Hawkeye because I was always watching the door waiting for my family.
Unfortunately, the family never came and I got tired of waiting. I was happy when the shelter reached out to rescue and I got to leave.
When I sat with Dr. Larsen, she whispered some bad news in my ear. She told me I was heartworm positive and that treatment was hard and painful. But, I am just a baby ~ about 12 months old.
Dr. Larsen told me about the treatment and it made me nervous. I just thought I was going to get some vaccinations, have a little snip-snip and then be on the road to find my forever family. Instead, I’ll have to go through 30 days of doxycycline, then two days of treatment and then 30 days of rest. And somewhere along the way, there will be a little snip-snip. Not at all what I had in mind. Heartworms ain’t no joke either.
The good thing? I will be 100% brand new in a few short months.
