Yesterday was a great day! Andy came home to Good Catch from Joanne and Kathy’s, and this little guy couldn’t be luckier. He was rescued just in time after being sprayed in the face by a skunk, the burn left him with ocular edema and without medication, he might have gone blind. Thankfully, after a week of eye medication and lots of TLC, Andy is healing beautifully.
At about 32 pounds and 1½–2 years old, Andy is a sweet, resilient boy. He met 13 new dogs yesterday without incident, showing just how friendly and adaptable he is.
When he first arrived, Andy was only 25 pounds and very underweight, but thanks to his time decompressing and fattening up with Jo and Kathy, he’s feeling great and full of life again. He has a recheck at Southern Winds tomorrow and a neuter appointment in a couple of weeks. After that, he’ll be ready to find his forever family.
Andy deserves the world, and we can’t wait to see him get it.
In addition to Andy’s arrival, we also welcomed Denver, a 1-year-old Retriever, to our rescue!
Denver’s dad is not well and knew this boy needed more than he could provide. With the help of our incredible networker/transporter/foster/friend Bonnie, Denver made the 6-hour round trip from Waco to Marion, TX yesterday and is now beginning his journey to finding a new family.
Denver weighs about 65 pounds and will be headed to Southern Winds on Tuesday for a full “work-up”; vaccines, heartworm test, Proheart (if negative) and neuter. Once he’s healed up and settled in, we’ll be on the lookout for the perfect adopter.
This boy wants to GO, he has a zest for play that’s unmatched! Denver wasn’t shy at all with his introductions to the new dogs (through the fence) or with new people. We’re so excited to see him shine as he starts this next chapter.
