Foster Update #2 - While awaiting his surgeries, Happy is gaining weight and growing hair!

Foster Update - Happy is doing very well in his foster home! He goes on 4-5 mile walks, has learned not to pull on leash, and is leaving food on counters alone. Happy no longer has to worry about if and when his next meal will arrive. The only indication of age is a slower pace going up multiple stairs. Please check back to see when Happy will be back at the vet for his neuter, mass removal and dental work.

Introduction - Happy was found at a shelter in very poor condition that indicated long term neglect. He was named Happy by the shelter staff and it is the perfect name for him, and representative of the indomitable spirit he displays. He is emaciated, has ear and skin infections, missing hair, bad teeth and a large mass. His neuter, mass removal and dental are on hold until his infections have resolved. Despite his condition, he has a wagging tail that will clear a coffee table and energy to spare. He goes up and down a few steps with no problems, likes to play fetch (but will not drop ball), and hops in and out of vehicles with ease. We discovered he loves riding in cars! Happy appears to be a Lab/Golden Retriever mix or perhaps all lab- when his hair grows back, we’ll have a better idea. He likes chew toys and pnut butter Kongs. A big cuddler, he will snuggle up to you for love and plant kisses on your cheek. We are looking forward to seeing his transformation as he flourishes in his foster home.
