Meet Bruno!

As I have mentioned before, our daughter, Sarah, fosters dogs for an animal rescue league in Memphis. ( In between going to school and working full time!) Sarah got this adorable little guy last week. He is thought to be mostly Boston Terrier, but Sarah thinks he may have some French Bulldog in him too. Bruno has lived a very sad and terrible life, well up until now, that is! Bruno was rescued from an unspeakable existance in a cruel and disgusting puppy mill! He is estimated to be around two years old and has spent those two years locked in a cage surrounded by his own waste! Thank God the authorities found out and put an end to this horrible place. Bruno was considered one of the lucky ones! Sadly, many of the dogs were too sick to help and had to be euthanized. It just breaks my heart to know that places like these exist! It is so disturbing also to know that there are people in the world who do this for a living!

As for Bruno, he is adjusting to his new life with Sarah. He has many issues that she is helping him overcome. Aside from testing positive for heart-worm and a double ear infection, he has severe attachment disorder, sensory issues, and eating issues! Hmmmm, what does this remind you all of? Sarah is working very hard to help him overcome these issues and he is already showing signs that he is responding to her kind and loving touch! The vet feels with proper medication and good care, Bruno should make a full recovery! He will be available for adoption when he is all better, that is if Sarah doesn't keep him!

BTW, Sarah found a wonderful home for her Bassett Hound, Hannah, that she was fostering just before Christmas! Way to go Sarah!
