Boomer

Boomer was our most recent foster, through a local rescue league. He was seized from his owner as part of a cruelty investigation, and I picked him up from the city shelter the day he was scheduled to be euthanized. He was literally covered in mats, had a terrible yeast infection all over his skin, his feet and tail were bloody and raw, and he was heartworm positive.

B and I fostered Boomer for almost four months. We had to give him several baths with betadine and baby shampoo, and round after round of antibiotics to get his skin infection under control. We nursed him through his heartworm treatment, and gave him all sorts of fancy food to help him gain weight.

Here's a link to an album of his pictures while we were fostering him.

Through it all, he had the sweetest personality. All he wanted was kisses and attention, he was so happy to be loved. He learned to play with toys, and discovered wrestling with Bella. Every day he grew a little stronger, and finally he was ready to go to a new family.

I took him to an adoption event, not thinking anyone would take him home that day, and the perfect home found him. I can't imagine a better place for him, they love him so much. Today they sent me some pictures to update me on how he's doing. He's gained another 10 lbs since they adopted him, and his hair is finally coming back. He is simply a stunning dog now. My cup runeth over.
