New Fosters Honey and Muno
Megan Sanchez drove down to Chambersburg from Altoona with a good animal loving friend of hers to pull two Bostons from the shelter. They were dropped off at the shelter together in a cage on their porch when they were closed and were found the next day.
Megan says, "A male and a female who are presumed to be a breeding pair dumped now that they are of no use to whoever had them before (absolutely absurd I know!)The male whom I am fostering has one eye. The vet at the shelter believes it was surgically removed but we will find out more during our checkup soon to come. He obviously needs neutered and could gain a pound or two of good muscle. He's a tiny little guy who needs a lot of work. He is very under socialized, has his guard up, but settles nicely on the couch (he is currently sprawled out on his side surrounded by throw pillows haha)He did eat some dinner with some coaxing (I think he's not too sure of the food bowl maybe)which is good that he's not too stressed not to eat. I have a lot of experience with these kind of sweet under loved lack of guidance souls so he is in good hands I promise!
He is doing amazingly well with my three dogs (a chihuahua, beagle/lab mix, and boston mix)and my dogs really dont mind him much (They are prob like oh geeze mom and her doggy sleepovers again!!!) We named him after Muno the one eyed character from the nick jr kids tv show Yo Gabba Gabba! (I have cannot figure out for the life of me how to attach a photo to this post so I will upload one to the photos) I will keep an update to you all when I can and love you all and your amazing work for the group and the dogs!!!!"
Chris Schezzini is the Foster Mom for Honey. Chris says she lives up to her name and is as sweet as Honey! Chris says, " She seriously is the tiniest Boston Terrier I have ever seen. Her life was rough before but No longer....she is getting the best care ever and being kept nice and warm and being loved and getting lots of kisses here!!! So happy she is safe now. She loves curling up in your lap...and she fits just right..." Chris adds that Honey loves to follow her everywhere and is very smart and loves to snuggle.
Honey's vet report was not good. She is in heat, older than thought to be, between
8-10 years of age. She has severe dental problems, which she will be getting a few teeth pulled and then whats left cleaned. She has bilateral cataracts which a specialist will be looking at since vet said she has about 10% of her vision
right now. She has increased pressure in her right eye, dysplasia in the hips and her knees at some point dislocated and never went back in place and fused themselves together ( not in the right place ). The worst news is she has Pyometra ( her uterus is enlarged ). She is on antibiotics for the infection. Chris notes, "I think we have a sick little dog on our hands here and we need everyone
praying for this angel. She is being pampered like a lil Queen here and loved so much."
