Brian's story
Hi there! My name is Brian. Some people call me a chi-weenie. I'm about 2 years old and weigh 23 pounds.
Foster mom says I haven't yet had a chance to live a normal dog life. I was picked up as a stray in Arkansas and brought here by Ruff Life for heartworm treatments and rescue. The last few months I have had to spend a lot of quiet time in a pen while the heartworms died. Every month I would go to this fun place called "the vet" for my heartworm treatments. Wow is that place fun! All the people there are super nice and I get to meet new dogs.
Foster mom has a rule that all dogs must be in a crate when going for a car ride. That's okay with me, I rest quietly for the whole drive.
Sometimes we go to a friend's farm. He has these interesting animals called "barn cats". One of the barn cats is my friend but the other barn cat is grumpy.
Foster mom says I'm a good boy for doing my business quickly when I go out in the yard. I'm not quite housetrained, probably because of my medicine, butI don't lift my leg to mark things. I always do my poo outside but sometimes I need to pee super bad and do it inside. The heartworm medicine made my really thirsty and I had to go pee every 3 hours except for at night because foster mom only lets me have a little water in the evening. I don't take that medicine anymore but I still take an inexpensive anti-seizure medication and a side effect can be frequent urination. Foster mom hopes that I can get on a longer schedule now that I only take one medication.
I'm learning sit, down, wait, and take food gently. I like walking on a leash, playing tug and fetch. Sometimes people I don't know come into the house and I have to bark to let foster mom know. She tells me it's okay and the people are always nice when I go to say hi. That makes me a super happy, wriggly, tail wagging fool. It's especially great if they sit on the couch with me.
It's been a long trip from the streets of Arkansas to a home and health in the Quad Cities. There's still one place I want to go and that is a place I can call my forever home. I'm hoping to find someone who understands my special needs. Maybe even a home with another dog!
Brian's adoption fee is $250.
