With Jackie having eaten food and still doing well (non-painful on palpations and exam, no hardness or ballooning of bladder, no bleeding), I wanted to share that our paralyzed and incontinent boy is on his way from California
I was originally contacted for advice on Bruno last month, and I received a message on Thursday asking if I would be able to take him. After a long talk with his dad, he decided that surrendering him was the best choice for Bruno and his quality of life. His dad did so much more for him than most people do for paralyzed dogs. Bruno had two incredibly expensive back surgeries, and neither helped his mobility, and he's also incontinent. When you work long hours, managing an incontinent dog can be difficult, especially when it comes to cleanliness and preventing sores and diaper rash, and he feels that Bruno is depressed with how often his dad has to be out of the house. His dad also hates how often he's out for work and has cancelled many work-related gigs and outings for Bruno's sake, but unfortunately, quitting your job when you're paying such high costs for surgeries, medications, and diapers isn't an option
Bruno's dad also paid for his transport to the sanctuary and sent along some of his things
I can't wait to meet Bruno and help ease his transition to the sanctuary with some quality time and doggy friends, which his dad says he loves. Thankfully, I have a few potential friends for him to choose from 💜
I once again cannot thank Heather enough for transporting another one of our disabled dogs. She has transported two megaE dogs (Dozer and Jensen), Martinez (despite him being a barker and not having a collar, leash, or harness), and now Bruno, despite his paralysis and incontinence. These are four dogs who absolutely never would have made it here without Paws On Wheels Pet Transport and I will always be so incredibly grateful for them
