Fortune heads to foster care!

It was a big day for Fortune yesterday because he got to leave the vet's office and go live in a foster home. Fortune knew something good was coming when the vet tech took him into the grooming room for a much-needed bath. After 31 days of living at the vet's, Fortune is now well enough to go home, but he'll need to continue with his medications for a while longer. If his medication is discontinued too soon, the Puppy Strangles can return with the possibility of being worse than before. Once he completes all of his medication, he will be neutered and ready to find a permanent home. When I stopped by yesterday to see him before he went home, he was so happy that he never stopped running around for more than a few seconds. Most of the pictures I took of him were blurry due to his constant motion. This little guy has come a long way. His first day at the vet's office found him struggling to stand up and he was not able to jump out of his cage without assistance (his cage was only a few inches off the ground). Fortune thanks you for your continued support. He looks forward to a full recovery and hopes to find a home of his own for the holidays.
