My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

When I came to Act2Pups I wasn't it good health, but just how bad wasn't known until my blood work showed all kinds of issues. After some other testing it was discovered I not only had one horrible parasite, but two. Coccidia and Giardia almost did me in. Lots of supportive care, fluids almost around the clock, medicines to get rid of the parasites, and lots of prayers pulled me through. It took several weeks before I would touch food. I lost weight, which I'm putting back on now, I'm healthy now. I'm becoming more playful and I bark when it's meal time. I walk fine on a leash. I'm a pretty laid back pup looking for my forever home
