Here's what the humans have to say about me:
UPDATE:
Hi guys! Its me Barry again!
My one year anniversary with CPR has come and gone on July 10th. Don’t get me wrong, I love my foster moms, but I long for a forever home of my own. You should see me now! Since I;ve come into rescue, I have made tremendous strides (literally) with my recovery. I now can walk around the block a few times with no problem and I can do the “Pugtonia”, just like any other fun loving pug. Because of my disc injury, I am not always be able to completely eliminate outdoors and I do leak when I’m excited. All you need is a belly band/diaper for me most of the time, except at nighttime.
I am an absolute lovebug, get along great with humans and other pets and I sure would love to go to my forever home. So, what do you think? Can you handle a handsome devil in your life?
Give CPR a call and make my dream come true! -xoxo Barry
Barry is an absolutely gorgeous black pug with the softest fur imaginable. He was surrendered to Animal Control by his owners and all they would say was they didn’t want him anymore. They did not give any history or explanation for his condition, so we can only speculate. What we do know is when we got him, he could not walk, or even stand on his own. He tries hard to balance if you stand him up, but was not able to get his legs under his body without assistance.
He has been getting baths daily, and his burned skin is clearing up nicely with medication. We brought Barry to a Rehab Clinic and he responded very well to physical therapy (walking on the treadmill under water). His doctor reported he was doing 100% better and was also treating him with steroids. He was holding his urine and even walking on his own after just two weeks! Of course, he is a work in progress, so no promises on the wee wee situation. We haven’t gotten a definite diagnosis, but the doctors feel it is either a spinal defect or injury.
He is approximately 5 years old and weighs 17 lbs. He is very sweet and is now out of the hospital in a foster home. We are looking for the right home, foster and/or adoptive, that can commit to continuing Barry’s therapy and working with him to get as healthy as possible. Are you that family?? If you would like to provide a loving home for Barry, please fill out an adoption application.
