A heartbreaking story with a happy ending. This sweet little spotted boy is Zane. He and his brother were adopted as young pups and joined the best family ever. After the adoption they learned about littermate syndrome so did everything possible to prevent it - dogs had training both together and separate, they had playtimes both together and separate, everything seemed perfect. They started coming to us for boarding stays when their family went on vacation and everything was perfect. But then tragedy slowly littermate syndrome started rearing its ugly head and the boys got in a fight. Then another fight and eventually the family realized that in order to keep the boys safe and happy someone would have to leave their home. They made the heartbreaking call to me we need help. I explained most rescue have a contract for return amd they needed to contact them to make sure i could place one. The rescue did not respond. So we agreed to place one, but which one? These were their babies and now they had to choose which one to let go which one they had to trust would be loved in a new family as much as they lived him. We posted both. Zane got an application, the family came out to meet him while he was here for boarding and they fell in love. I stayed in close contact with his mom to make sure she was OK with the adoption. She would come home now with only 1 dog. It was heartbreaking. But but Zane got a fabulous home with a family that loves him just as much as his first family and he still gets to play with the water hose his favorite thing ever. Here are a few photos from his new family. We are so grateful to the families that trust us with their furry family members.
