My story

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

ABOUT MR. BONES
This handsome, loving boy had quite the rough beginning. Mr.Bones was found tied to our fence, emaciated and struggling to stand. Upon brining him inside, our team noticed several large and life-threatening lacerations. Our veterinary team leaped into action to provide surgery he needed to save his front limb and prevent infection in his other wounds. Despite his size, this skinny guy had more strength than we ever imagined! Mr. Bones handled surgery like a champ and even gave our team kisses afterwards, as if he was happy to be helped. Despite all he endured in his past, Mr. Bones doesn't hold that against anyone, he loves making new friends and is the happiest guy around. To help monitor him during recovery, Bones went into a loving foster home, here's what they had to say about him:

"Mr. Bones is acclimating to a foster home setting wonderfully! Introducing him to 3 doggy foster brothers was a breeze, although they are kept in separate areas of the home unless monitored & one at a time while he's healing from surgery. We have been working on redirection training (treat scatters "go find it, "get your toy, "leave it, etc) while using "Yes! or "Good! as his reward with a treat. He learned "Sit and "Down extremely fast. Definitely exhibits more balanced behavior when on an enrichment plan throughout the day (Kong, slow feeder, snuffle mat, 1:1 yard time). We love having him here and know he will make a family very happy!"

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
