Our Semi-New Dog
Since montanaJoe posted his new family member, I thought I would share our newest family member. This dog came to us in the first part on Dec. 2021, and was just a year old. He was one of these COVID dogs we hear about, and was at least semi-neglected. The young woman(20-21 YO) we got him from had got him from a homeless dude down town when he was 3-4 months old. At some point the homeless guy wanted him back, then a couple months later she got him back again.
While she was off on COVID shutdowns, she stayed with her mother. Consequently the dog had human contact 24-7. Plus she took him everywhere he went. When COVID shutdowns were lifted, and she went back to work, she rented a place in another town. There she had a male room mate who allegedly abused the dog. Plus when she went to work, she locked the dog on a plastic kennel box, which he dug his way out of.
This is where we got him. He had huge separation anxiety but now we can leave him for 3-5 hours, and he's ok with that. He is definitely a work in progress, but he's a sweet dog and VERY lovey,
Meet Bishop the dog.....

Hi Bishop! Looks like you came out a winner. Thanx for making him a permanent home, HPD. Sometimes, I think it might be best that they can't tell us where they've been and what they've seen. It's all new from this day forward.

Is this a moderator/admin thing? I may need to get me a new doggy, we are down to just one little guy and the cat we rescued back awhile, It may be time for a new rescue of something bigger like you both got recently... Kimber and Bishop are both great looking "Lucky dogs"

Our little "person" had to spend 24 hours at the vets, got the runs bad and had to have IV's. Blind and diabetes to. Had to wait a couple hours in the waiting room. Sad times for at least three families.
Two ladies carried a big black dog in, very old, they left crying without the dog. Second couple carried their buddy in, it seemed to be lifeless. They left shorty crying to. Third family came rushing in and got the vets, that dog looked like a big lab, had to restrain him on a strecher and it was convulsing and throwing up. I would guess antifreeze. We left before finding out if the dog made it or not. Sad times for sure.
While with us they give all their heart, when they leave they take part of ours with them.

I am for sure. I'm trying to see how much we can spend on a "free" dog.🤣
