Teddy's Success Story
Teddy, a 5 year old blind Shih Tzu came to his foster home as a mess in the middle of winter. His hair was falling out, he was underweight and he had such horrible teeth that 8 of them had to be pulled. Oh, and he was blind too. After 5 weeks, he found his forever home in a suburb of Boston and i s now well loved and taken care of by his new family.
Here is a note from his mom:
Teddy is great, he's very comfortable here, and is always the center of attention wherever he goes. He's an absolute snuggle buddy. I also enjoy rough-housing with him. He'll now jump up to get his braided rope that he l ikes to attack.
He still eats the food you recommended, and at last check, was just und er 11 lbs. The heat, of recent, has really slowed him down. He's been sleepin g until about 8 every morning in the air-conditioned bedroom, and spends much tim e on the couch in front of the fan. I take him to the groomers about every 6 wee ks, and have been keeping him quite short to try to help w/ the heat.
We take him every weekend to our property in NH. I've taken him in the lake a few times to swim. This week I'll pick up a life-jacket for him and hope he 'll be more comfortable in the water. He enjoyed his 11 days on Martha's Vineyard. I bought him a pet stroller on Craigslist, so he went everywhere we went.
He definitely was meant to come home to us. Whatever his journey was, he was meant to find us!!! Thank you for all you and Underdog ResQ did for him.

Common misconceptions
before adopting a dog: |
|
1. We’re getting Rex for the kids - they will do all the work.
Maybe for the first week or so, but most kids will slack
off soon enough and the responsibility will fall on your laps.
You are considered to be the owner because you are over the age
of 21. If your kids do not walk Rex, then it is up to you that
it gets done. As much as we talk to our kids about responsibility
and as much as they agree to care for your new dog, we all know
that sooner or later most kids will lose interest or get tired.
If you can positively answer these questions and concerns, then you may be
ready to adopt Rex.
