Hello Everyone!
We have a really sweet poofball who is down on his luck and looking to find love again. His name is Woofy!
Woofy is around eight years old and had been with his person for his entire life- she is an elderly woman and he was her constant companion. Sadly, around two weeks ago, Woofy had a seizure. It was his first seizure. His owner panicked and tried to grab him while it was happening and Woofy somehow bit her. It was not a severe bite by any stretch, just broken skin on her finger.
Unfortunately, Woofy’s owner’s son really hit a gasket over this incident. He placed his mum in the hospital (he stated she had some other stuff going on) and then attempted to abandon Woofy at his vet’s. When the vet called him on it, he picked Woofy up and brought him to a shelter and specifically requested they euthanize him.
Woofy is a nice dog. He’s sweet and affectionate and motors around great for a tripod. They have not observed additional seizures while he has been at the shelter, but they are not able to monitor him 24/7, so it is possible that he has had seizures when no one was watching. Overall, he’s stable, cheerful, and incredibly sweet. He is a well loved dog who really got thrown out on his bottom due to no fault of his own.
Woofy was in the shelter person’s office this morning with her little gremlin bulldog who comes to work with her, and he did great with her. He’s just a gentle guy who doesn’t really understand what the heck went wrong over the past few weeks.
Woofy has limited options due to the bite on his record, which really stinks, because it wasn’t even a deliberate bite. He was just was seizing and chattering. We really need a foster so we can rescue this three legged boy. We’re really rooting for him but we desperately need a foster!
