BENNIE WANTS TO BE ADOPTED!



BENNIE

Bennie is a happy, loving, joyful, one and a half year old American Bulldog/American Staffordshire mix. He sits, shakes hands, comes, stays, walks beautifully on leash, waits for his dinner when you put it down. He is perfectly trained and housebroken. He loves all dogs, big and small, and all people. He is being fostered in a loving home and gets along perfectly with the large Rottie mix and tiny Yorkie. He sleeps in bed and cuddles all night. He goes to the park, obeys, loves all the dogs there. He does not bark back at dogs, and is perfect on leash. He does suffer from separation anxiety, which always lessens when a doggie settles into a forever home, but it would be best if he went to a home where he was not left alone eight hours a day. He is very social and loving. No aggression, no challenging authority, all love. Eager to please, learns fast. Would be a great agility or therapy dog, and a great family member, loves children.

BEAR
BEAR
Bear's owner not only lost her home, her job, but she then lost Bear.  She had to give Bear to a friend to keep until she could find a new place to live where she could have him.  Bear had a tumor, she could not afford for it to be operated on.  The tumor grew and grew.  Precious Paws found out from the friend keeping Bear about his condition.  We took him in for a risky surgery to have the tumor removed.  The tumor was a spleenic tumor, it weighed 15 lbs, the largest tumor this vet of 37 years had ever removed.  Bear woke up and he was doing fine.  Then a little over two hours after his surgery, Bear crashed and died.  Bear was a seven year old Chow mix and he was just too young to die.  Precious Paws incurred a vet bill of $1,900 for the xrays, ultrasound, blood test and surgery for Bear.

We took a risk, we wanted to give him a chance, we lost, but we would have never known if we didn't try and we let him just die.

It was such a roller coaster, going in knowing it was a 50/50 chance, waiting by the phone praying that we didn't receive that call that he didn't make it through the surgery or the tumor was much worse than we thought, but we didn't get that call.  We got the call, he made it, he was awake and alert and it had been two hours.  We were so grateful and ecstatic he had made it.  Then a half hour later we got the call, he crashed and died.  It was devastating, the joy of his survival quickly followed by the devastating news of his death.

Please if you can donate even just one dollar toward Bear's surgery it would be a great help.
