The Story of Charlie
|
Charlie, a 2 year old Boxer mix weighing 31 pounds, was brought to us as a stray on January 20th. He was very skinny and scared when he arrived. He had thrown up a lot after his arrival, empty plastic Jell-O cups and other trash he had been eating to survive. He was aggressive toward other dogs. But after he knew he was safe and loved, he settled in and began to trust.
Charlie was taken to the vet for a rabies vaccination and exam. The vet noticed how sweet he was, however, she observed marks on his legs that indicated that Charlie was used as a bait dog. Bait dogs are those dogs used by people engaging n dog fighting. They use a bait dog to attract the vicious dogs, teaching them to become even more vicious. A very sick trade. We have no idea all the horrors that Charlie went through before he was brought to the rescue. Andi, the rescue manager, worked with him every day and he was getting so much better. You could see he was happy. Charlie continued to have belly issues and another visit to the vet determined he had a blockage. We used pumpkin, coconut oil and bread to try to remove the blockage but it did not work. The ultra sound showed something lodged at the bottom of his intestines and it was determined that Charlie had to have surgery to remove it. On Friday, March 28, Charlie underwent surgery, which was successful. However, Charlie went into anaphylactic shock. CPR was unsuccessful. Another ultra sound after Charlie passed revealed that his gallbladder was extremely enlarged. |
This sweet boy who was so misunderstood is gone. The only love he knew happened at A Forever Home Animal Rescue. That's what we do. We love them and we try to save them. Couldn't save Charlie. Our hearts are broken. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge too soon.

PUP OF THE SPOTLIGHT!
|
Meet Dexter!
Dexter is a 4-year-old Chihuahua/Dachshund (chi-weenie) mix weighing approximately 26 pounds. He came to us when his owner died and he was being kept in a tiny cage. He is timid but has come a long way. He loves to play tug of war and he is very strong. He gets along with the other dogs but has not been cat or kid-tested. He is friendly and lovable when he gets to know you. His adoption donation is $250 which includes his neuter, vaccinations, and microchip. He is heartworm-negative and on monthly prevention. He is still grieving for the loss of his owner and home so please help him heal.
