We’ve had a really devastating last few days so we wanted to share some REALLY uplifiting news! 🥳
Camo officially joined STAAR in January after an almost 6 month legal neglect hold. We fell in love with him the minute we laid eyes on him and waited and waited for the day we could bust him out. He was older. The spondylosis throughout the majority of his spine was the worst we’d ever seen. His skin was covered in masses from chronic, lifelong chewing and itching. He was extremely thin and had bilateral cherry eyes. To top it off, he had the most sensitive stomach and started vomiting chronically and having bloody stools. It seemed impossible to get weight on him. Well, turns out our perfect Camo also had a major heart issue, not surprising in an older Boxer but dang! The problems just didn’t seem to end for this boy.
But here we are…weight gain, skin and coat looking amazing, heart medications started that also stopped his chronic tummy issues, pain medications to keep him feeling like the spunky, goofy soul he is and HE’S ADOPTED!!
The other best part…he didn’t have to go far. His foster family, one of our founders, can’t imagine their home and pack without this perfect, lug of an old man. He’s a heart stealer, a smile maker, an endless joyful spirit and despite everything this dude has endured, he has nothing but endless love and butt wiggles to give! We are beyond thrilled for Camo! He landed exactly where he belongs. 💚🖤
