Farewell to the amazing Bruce!
I first saw Bruce’s story when I was working with a different rescue. (And him and his adoptive sister have been my favorite saves to date.) He was surrendered to an overcrowded shelter in Indiana as a result of an altercation between him and the owner’s new puppy. Of course, the owner decided to keep the puppy vs Bruce.
As a result of the altercation, Bruce was left with a lot of physical and mental trauma. He suffered many wounds and fell into a depression which made his recovery even more difficult.
I went to scoop him out of the shelter there and he started his new life in WI. Our veterinarians examined him and determined that, due to his injuries, he would likely not make it more than 3-4 months.
Bruce and his new family proved to them that, with a lot of love, you can hang in there.
Nine months later, Bruce’s loving family has decided it’s time to cross that rainbow bridge! He got an amazing second chance with his new family; he was loved, and spoiled rotten. Farewell Bruce. You have been an amazing dog and I’m so happy to have met you!
A big thank you to his family for loving him and giving him the most amazing 9months. As well as still being apart of the JJ’s family with fostering dogs.
