Bubba needs a foster home

Remember Bubba? He was my first story after the May clinic, but our initial plan for a foster home didn't work out, so he has been at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue waiting for a placement. This picture is from when he came in -- he was skin and bones and miserable, but patient and sweet with everyone.
I wanted to update you on Bubba the American Bulldog who was rescued from a chain under a tree with no bedding, food or water.

When he came to us, his head hung low and his spirit, it seemed, was broken. In 24 hours after he was at the clinic, he began to blossom. A special thanks to Carol, Susan and Colleen for bringing him out of his shell, and Dr. Charlie and Mary for giving him sub-cu feedings the first night.

Bubba is in a kennel at RLRR shelter. He is doing very well. He is gaining weight and socially doing very well. He goes out to exercise 2 times per day with other female dogs. He loves people too.
After he got rid of the tapeworm and has shelter, food, and water he is a very "classy" guy. He never poops or pees in his kennel. He can be seen reclining on a pallot we covered with plywood and blankets. His roof is tarp, and he enjoys his own space very much.

He is forever smiling.

After he exercises he willingly wants to return to his own kennel.

We are hoping that good news is coming shortly regarding a foster home for him. Kristin is working on it and is getting some good progress. We will keep you updated.

Sincerely, Karen
