TRIPP UPDATE FROM DR. HUEL! She just called:
Tripp has be neutered and had a small belly button hernia repaired. He is Heartworm NEG! He was full of fleas so treated for that. Wormed and Vaccinated. He had laser therapy last night at intake and again this morning and Dr Huel said his eye is looking much better. He has many new and old bite marks...literally covered his body. He wants tons of lovin's when the vet tech take him out to potty. Michelle from Effingham Animal Shelter was taking kitties to the vet this morning and was able to visit with Tripp. She said he was so very sweet and she loved him. This boy is ready to go home. He is still at Pet Wellness Center of Southern Illinois and will be there this weekend. We are screening applications for him but there will be NO ADOPTION FEE! He is a 1 yr old pit boxer mix. As far as we can tell he is good with people and has been around cats and a dog...the one attacking him. He has been around a 5 year old child but not close interaction due to Tripp's injuries. We can schedule meet and greets with families and animals to see if he is a good fit for a family wanting to bring him into their home. I am unsure about potty training. He did potty outside for us. But his home life was not structured. He will need time and love while settling into his new home but I promise this will be the most loyal dog you will ever have because he is....a rescue:)
