I'm supposed to be on break from taking in more rescues!!!!
I got a call from AC telling me that someone had turned in their seizure alert certified dog, they weren't having luck getting her out of there, and her time was up so they were gassing her. So of course I went to go and get her, and then instantly there were 9 groups willing to take her as soon as I had her in my posession (I dont know what it is about groups not wanting to take the same dog when they are on death row but the instant a rescue group has them they are all about them), so she is going to a training group where a little 8 year old girl has been on the waiting list for a dog forever.
So anyway, as I am walking out with this little spitz mix seizure dog, I spot a polar bear. Its a big pyr boy. He's a year old, and has horrible food allergy reactions around his eyes so his eyes are all crusty and pussy and look like he has goggles on. He was an owner surrendor and his time was up. They dont get much time.
Soooo I took him with me. Hes a very very gentle and sweet one year old pup. His name is Owen. We are looking to get him in a pyr group ASAP as I have no place for this monster! He was very good at the vets and did excellent for the skin scraping and testing- no scabies or demodex or fungas, so they are guessing food allergies. Hes on antibiotics and creme.
Everyone say hi to Owen- and if you volunteer with a pyr group near NC that has room (yea right!) let me know!

Oh!! that poor, poor boy! I am so glad you have him. What a sweetheart, and I hope he's able to find a good home, and an answer to his medical problems.

Poor guy, sending rehoming vibes his way.

Good news for Owen- the foster mom who has him, Lynn, just called me and said they have absolutely fallen in love with him and want to keep him. I told her to think it over for the next day or so but she was dead set- she has fostered a lot of dogs for me over the years and has almost kept one or two but was always wishy washy about it, mostly because the dogs were older or "unadoptable" and she felt bad for them. Owen... she was absolutely positive- she was waiting for the perfect dog, but didn't really know what she was looking for. Then she saw Owen and it was love at firt sight! So Owen has a home, and with one of my best volunteers so I get to see him all the time. Yay for Owen! Last I talked to her she was scrunched at the bottom of the bed while he took up the rest.
