My Story:
As his name implies, Freeway was found on the side of the road
by a good Samaritan. She brought him to animal control, but was
concerned that because he is a pit bull, he might not make it out...
We were informed of his situation by an animal control officer and
he was happily saved from death row.
Freeway is currently in a foster home and doing great! He is happy,
friendly, goofy, and playful- what we hope and expect from all puppies.
As of August 31st, 2007, we are guessing him to be around 7 weeks
old. He has already been vaccinated and dewormed, is crate trained,
and resides with a foster brother and sister dog (and the resident
cat who he is not afraid of!). His foster mom thinks he's just about
the cutest thing alive! We can't believe he was abandoned, and at
such a young defenseless age we are thankful someone discovered
him in time.
Freeway has recently been diagnosed with Wobbler Disease. It is
a condition of the cervical vertebrae that causes an unsteady (wobbly)
gait and weakness. He is currently on Prednisone to help decrease
the inflammation. Freeway is not able to get in to the SUV on his
own, can jump up on the bed, and has been playing more with his
foster siblings. A myelogram needs to be done to further assess
Freeway's condition. In order to alleviate pain and movement difficulties
permanently, Freeway will need to have surgery. We are in need of
monetary donations to help defray the costs of Freeway's medical
expenses.
Email with questions. Monetary donations, loving foster homes,
and great volunteers are the only way we can continue to save lives.
Note from Freeway:
My foster mom says that I am very smart and extremely handsome!
I have already learned to sit and I can stay! I am crate trained
and potty trained.
My puppy sitter and walker, Carol, gave me a black fleece blanket.
It is my favorite! I drag it out of my kennel and spread it out
on the floor to lay on. Then, I drag it back in to my kennel, so
I can lay on it there.
I do lots of different activities during the day. I have a kitty
foster sister, but she is afraid of me, so I don't get to play with
her. I love to play with my doggy foster brother and sister. We
have a blast together in the back yard! Recently, because of my
Wobbler disease, I have not felt much like playing, though. I have
been in pain and my legs have not been working right. My foster
mom hides some pill in peanut butter and gives it to me like it
is a treat. She hasn't figured out that I know there is medicine
in there. I don't think I will tell her, since I really like getting
that peanut butter and the medicine has made me feel so much better!
My walker says that I am doing very well on the leash. I enjoy
going on walks and exploring the outside world. There is so much
to see and do! My foster mom says that I am going to be a wonderful
addition to my forever home's family. She is always telling me what
a good boy I am, so she must be right!
