As you know, Kanga came in with Roo last December. They had been found in a field/park near the Long Beach animal shelter, both are blind and have limb deformities. The shelter contacted us to see if we could take them in, and Cecily and I went down to meet them. These pups are the sweetest dogs ever, and have no idea they have disabilities. Kanga has some deformities of his front paws, but gets along great as you have seen from his foster mom's (Barbara S's) videos.
John has been looking for another companion/family member for him and Gracie, and saw Kanga's pictures and videos on our website, and fell in love. After discussing his situation with Barbara S, she thought it sounded like he could provide a wonderful home for this most special pup, and we were quickly able to set up a meeting. John brought along his pet sitter, and everyone got along great. Kanga happily went on his way with his new family (Barbara reports he never looked back, but I had to remind her he is blind) and like any young brat took up most of the seat with his new doggy sister.
John reports he's doing great - well, when I asked him how it's going he said, "He's heaven!" He said it is a lot of work, but he's worth every minute of it. He joked Kanga needs to learn more spatial recognition - he wakes up with Kanga laying on his head. He's keeping in touch with Barbara and I'm sure she'll be sharing updates with us all.
Kanga thanks Cecily for being there to help bail him and Roo out and give both of these resilient Goldens a chance at a good life. He is so very grateful to the CP Dog Walkers who all fell in love with him and got him out daily. He's forever thankful to Barbara S for offering to foster him when she was on vacation, and realizing what a joy he was (and how much Anja liked him) and keeping him through adoption. He thanks Kriss for checking out his potential new home, and the placement team and PA Eva for making the match.
Welcome home Kanga!
