Foster Care

For the last month or so, lucky Chaucer (aka Chase) has been fostered by the adopters of his son, Turbo. What a wonderful experience for him as he waits for his his true Forever Home.

Back to the Ranch!

Chase was reunited with our Rescue Director, Deborah, and his buddies running her property after the Meet & Greet today. We are hopeful that he will be accepted back into the pack there-- very temporarily we hope!!-- and that he will enjoy some sunny days there while he waits, once again, to be adopted.

We will really miss him here, he was honestly one of the very nicest house guests we ever had!

Chase's Eyes

Because his most recent home had some concerns about Chase's eyesight, we took him to the area specialist, Dr. Shiffrin, to have his eyes checked out. Dr. S assured us that Chase has "good" vision in both eyes-- yay!!! He does have a persistent hyaloid remnant and an early cataract on the rear of his left eye, but the doctor thinks they will not effect him at all under normal circumstances. (He should be periodically rechecked by the eye doctor just to be on the safe side.)

What a relief!!

Welcome, Chase!

Poor Chase has been returned by his new adopter after about 4 months at his new home due to concerns she was having about his eyesight. He is going to see Dr. Shiffrin (Veterinary Ophthalmologist) on Wednesday afternoon so that we can determine what, if any, visual deficits he may have.

In the meantime, Chase is a delightful house guest. He is amazingly gentle for such a big boy, and he is very eager to learn and extremely smart. We showed him exactly one time where his crate was and where he goes to the back yard and he was a pro. He is SO TOLERANT of all the puppies swarming him, and although he is interested in the cats, he hasn't attempted to chase them at all.

This is a really good boy, and we sure help that there is a Happy Ending for him afterall!
