We are so happy to announce that Apple has found his forever home! Apple came to us back in June as an owner surrender. His family recently went through some major life changes, and fell a little bit on hard times. They just were not able to keep him anymore or to properly care for him. So they made the difficult decision to surrender him over to us.
We got Apple into an experienced foster home and he did great there. All around he was just a great and sweet dog. He got along with all of the resident dogs and he loved to play with them. Even though he’s 11, he did not act like it and he still had a lot of youth left in him. He also got along well with the resident cat. He loved to play, but he also loved to snuggle up at the end of the day and be loved on. He was housebroken and he was able to free roam the house when left alone. He came to us with a chicken allergy, so he was on a chicken free diet, which he did really well on.
Apple went to the vet while he was with us to get updated on his vaccines, bloodwork, urinalysis, and get a physical exam. He was very well behaved for his appointment. His bloodwork came back good and his urinalysis showed a slightly elevated protein level. Considering his age, the vet was not concerned at all. The vet thought he looked amazing for his age and he was shocked that he was as old as he was, since he did not act like it. He did need a good dental cleaning though. He went back to the vet a couple weeks later for his dental cleaning. Unfortunately, he had to have seven teeth extracted. Considering his age, and the fact that he has probably never had a dental cleaning before, his teeth were not as bad as they could’ve been. He recovered at his foster home and his mouth healed up really well. He didn’t have any issues and he eats just fine now. His mouth probably feels much better now that all of those bad teeth have been removed.
Apple needed a home where he got plenty of love and play time. Even though he’s 11, he did not act like it and he was a very playful guy. He still loved to play fetch and he loved to play with other dogs. He needed a home with other dogs who he could play with, and he could be in a home with cats. He loved to be outside and he needed a home with a nice fenced in yard he could roam and play in. He just needed the perfect home full of love to live out his golden years.
We found the perfect home for Apple! He is now enjoying life out in the country and he’s loving it. He has other fur siblings too, both canine and feline, and he gets along great with everyone! He has a nice fenced in yard that he loves to run and play in. His family has absolutely fallen in love with him and they look forward to spending the rest of his golden years with him. We are so happy for Apple! Here’s a message from his new family:
“Apple is doing great in his forever home! He moved in and immediately made friends with the other dogs and even the cats! While he doesn't exactly love being brushed, he will allow it without any problems, which is a good thing, because he's leaving corgi glitter everywhere! He is very chill in the house, but when he's outside he loves to play with the younger corgi, they are great buddies. He has recovered well from his dental surgery and hasn't missed a beat. He absolutely loves all people, but especially those that will pet him. He is getting better for car rides, he only whines for a minute or so and then settles down. It's hard to believe he is 11, he acts much younger. Looking forward to many years with this fellow! We love him already.”
Congratulations to Apple and his new family! 🐾❤️
