HAVE A HEART ADOPT A PET HOMEPAGE

HAVE A HEART ADOPT A PET

Simple ideas for a complex world. SM

Have A Heart receives "Emergency Adoption Requests" from rescue groups and concerned citizens. Usually, someone has been trying to help a pet find a home and the pet's allotted time in the shelter has "run out" and is going to be euthanized. In other cases perhaps a group or person adopted a pet to save it from being euthanized and needs to find it a home. Below is an adoption request we have been asked to post.

Reggie is an extremely loving and affectionate miniature bull terrier mix, about a year old, who was rescued by The Buddy Project for Animal Rescue from a kill shelter when his time was up.

Reggie LOVES other dogs, and you'd think that wouldn't be the case with a dog whom we've been told might have been attacked by dogs at a young age (because of scars on his head). This young boy has been through a lot in his short life, but he still trusts people and other animals whole-heartedly. He is also living with a cat in his foster home also, and he has no interest in her.

Reggie is also good with kids, but because he is still a puppy, he can be mouthy (likes to chew when he plays) so a home with children must be supervised by an adult who knows how to supervise dogs with children. We won't rule him out for a home with children because he is such a great boy and with the right owners, he will be great with everyone.

As for Reggie's special need... About a month ago, Reggie's left eye became very irritated and it was determined that he had secondary glaucoma and needed to have the eye removed. The vet thinks this condition was caused by a trauma suffered earlier in his life. Reggie does fine with one eye, but he is still getting used to losing sight on one side and he sometimes bumps into things! :( His good eye is doing fine but must be watched and checked by the vet every few months.

Reggie is neutered and up to date on his shots. He is a very special boy and will only go to a home that is going to love him for the rest of his life, so please email his foster mom at:
