My story

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

Introducing Bronson! Bronson too has a very sad story, he was picked up from the same rural reserve as Sophie. Bronson was rushed to the vet with a huge wound on his back left leg which was very infected and leaking joint fluid (we need fluid in our joints for cushion and to help the limb move) When the vet assessed his injury she found that his infection was all throughout his body and had a lot of dead tissue both in the joint itself and around the injury which had to be removed. Worse yet.... when they x-rayed his leg, they found that he had three bullet wounds... it looks as though these bullets have been in his body for quite some time and had to be removed. He had a bullet wound in his tail, testicle and leg. Part of Bronson's tail is also missing, possibly due to the bullet wound. When Bronson was picked up he could not walk at all due to his injuries and from being so weak, he too has a belly full of worms. Bronson is now healing up after his surgeries, he is neutered, vaccinated, stitched up, microchipped, dewormed, deliced, and is on 7 different types of medications, pain medications, antinflammatories, antibiotics plus supplements and a special diet for weight gain due to him being so under weight, although he can still not walk he is trying which is a great sign! If you are able to help out either Bronson or Sophie for their extensive medical treatments, medical bills, medications, supplements and food it would be greatly appreciated. You can also donate directly to the wonderful vet clinic who saw both of these cuties on very short notice and helped aid in their recovery, Family Pet Care Clinic in St.Albert.

UPDATE: August 2, 2013: Bronson is doing AMAZING since his surgery! The vet said he should have no future problems with his previous injuries. He is all healed up now and is running around like nothing ever happened! Bronson is great around other dogs big and small, cats, men and women and loves kids! He even loves playing dress up with little kids! Bronson is a calm, easy going guy who still likes to play but loves to take it easy too! He is great off leash, knows basic obedience and is great on a leash and in crowds. Apply to adopt Bronson today!

UPDATE: August 20, 2013: We have some sad news, Bronson is being returned to infinite WOOFS at no fault of his own he just wasn't a good fit for his initial adoptive home and their life style. Bronson is a huge sweetie and a cuddle bug who is super easy going, patient and loving of all animals and humans big and small! He especially LOVES little kids. This guy has been through ALOT in his approx 4 years. From living on a reserve, to being shot three times, to loosing his tail and almost loosing his leg, to going to an adoptive home and now coming back into foster care. Lets help give this guy a warm welcome back into infinite WOOFS and ensure his next home is his last home! <3
