Baldwin ready for adoption very soon

Baldwin has been neutered and doing well. His real hair is growing in now and we are starting to see what color he really will be. He's gaining weight and is not up to 58 pounds. He's still skinny but certainly not what he looked like when he came in to rescue. He's a happy boy, loves to play with his tennis ball, and is gaining his strength back. Initially he could barely walk, now he's playing ball. We will be making him available officially once he has healed from his neutering and we feel he is ready for his forever home.

Carissa Anne update

On July 28 our sweet Carissa Anne underwent surgery to repair the old cruciate ligament tear that had never been treated. She came through with flying colors, and is now ready for a long, six week recovery. Her exercise is very limited right now, out for potty and then right back to her kennel. She is being treated at Culver Palms Pet Hospital, and they have fenced in a wonderful grassy area in the side yard at the hospital. This makes a perfect spot for the walkers to take Carissa several times a day. She can do what she has to do, and then can lie in the sun and be easily available for her favorite pastime, being petted. The picture shows a bare spot on the side of her face. There was a growth there which was removed during her surgery. It was benign, so Carissa only has to worry about getting better, getting some strength back in that leg, losing quite a few pounds, and finding herself a forever home to make up for the years of neglect. Not a difficult job for a beautiful six year old girl.

Baldwin update

Just an update on Baldwin's progress. He is now 58 pounds - wow, and is he starting to look good. He was neutered yesterday and we did a recheck of his bloodwork and heartworm. The bloodwork looked very good and the heartworm, which he had been diagnosed with and then tests showed he was negative, verified yesterday that he is negative. The doctor has ordered another recheck in December but hopefully, he is adopted by then and we would recommend his new home do the recheck. His fur is starting to come in with the color that he really is. The yellow, straw colored hair is coming out and underneath is a light Golden Retriever. Once he recovers from his neutering surgery, he will be officially ready for adoption.
