One of our renewed goals these days is to focus on our long-term adoptable dogs. Petey is a super-friendly English Bulldog, who has a goofy and playful demeanor. He makes people so happy as he wiggles to greet them, and is very enthusiastic about training exercises and going new places. Sadly, he is growing up in foster care, and has been waiting for his own family for several years. We took in Petey during the pandemic, when he was dropped off at the shelter for euthanasia as a small puppy because the breeder couldn’t sell him. Petey suffers from spina bifida, which is a spinal issue. It does not slow him down when playing or cause any discomfort, but it does leave him unable to control his bowels. A combination of vet-directed nutrition, a structured schedule (eating and outside at the same time everyday), diapers, and kennels, minimize the associated care, but obviously he needs a very special commitment. Caring for Petey also requires financial support. We have taken on three annual vet visits since we took him in, one recent emergency room trip, plus ongoing costs of care (food, supplies, meds as needed, etc…). In hopes of maximizing his chances for adoption, we have also waived his adoption fee. If you feel strongly about giving dogs like Petey a chance, please consider a donation and/or promoting his adoption profile! We’d be happy to set up a meeting immediately with anyone who submits an application. Thank you
