Update! Do you remember the dogs we recently helped from a cruelty investigation? They went from living a never-ending nightmare to living in love and sunshine. This update from an amazing Brother Wolf foster family made us smile ear to ear, and we wanted you to experience the joy, too. “We fell in love with him the moment we met him, and we continue to fall in love with him more and more every day. He is such a lover. He prefers to spend his time laying around and receiving lots of pets and cuddles. He is proficient at using the pee pads, and yesterday he learned to go to the bathroom for the first time outside. Sometimes, he still isn't a big fan of of walking (especially through doorways and down stairs) so he has to be carried or encouraged with treats. He loves quitting his walk early by immediately sitting on the tree stump a few feet away from the door. And then his cuteness encourages everyone to go sit with him and he flops down on their lap, ready for another nap. After a photo op, we can usually persuade him to carry on with us by enticing him with treats. Thank you for rescuing him, and thank you for allowing us to foster and love on Vinny. We are so incredibly thankful to have him in our lives.”...
