Where Was Your Pet Rescued or Adopted?
Carson

Your Pet's Story or Bio (How was your pet rescued? Any cute tricks?)
We had a Family offer for Samuel (known as Larry in the shelter) right away when he arrived at Carson Shelter. Kay Buell, the ultimate serial senior foster, had this boy on her mind! We were all ready to save him, and then suddenly, the shelter had rescanned him and discovered a microchip. We and our anxious foster waited for Samuel's microchip hold to be done. No one came, but we were knocking down his kennel door on his due out date on July 28th, 2014!

He was infested with fleas and ticks and had a horribly stiff gate. The vet told us that his elbows were very thick with arthritis, causing him to walk like we was on stilts. We immediately put him on Metacam, and his joints now move a little more fluidly. After being bathed and medicated causing the fleas to fall off, Sammy has the softest thick coat!

Sammy loves the beach, giving kisses, running with excited pitter patters of his front feet toward his mommy, and then bunny hops! He also learned how to open the fridge on one of his first nights in the house! Uh oh! He gets his weekly dose of ice cream to keep those pitter patters going too!
