Look how darling this photo is of Cooper having sweet dreams. This is probably the best he has slept in weeks. For those of you who are just now seeing Cooper for the first time, he was at Carson Shelter, which is a very high kill shelter for approximately 4 weeks. He was so stressed out he was shutting down, he had kennel stress so bad he was trying to bite open the metal kennel doors. In addition, he was sleeping on the cement floors which had to be so hard on his senior body. When he left the shelter, he had some bleeding masses. Thankfully our amazing foster had some animax on hand which has stopped the bleeding and his masses are starting to scab over. Approximately in the next week or so, a very generous rescue will be stepping in to pay for all of his medical. This boy has been very sweet, well mannered and a perfect gentleman. If Copper only knew how many cheerleaders were rooting for him and how hard everyone fought feverishly to save his life! Make a difference in a dogs life today by offering to foster. It is so rewarding to give back to an innocent soul and to see how they blossom, start to smile, start wagging their tail and trust you unconditionally. Apply today at DMDR.org.
