Hero is an amazing dog who gets along quite
well on the linoleum now and even is going up and
down the stairs, but I would not like to see him in
a home with lots of stairs. He does still trip now
and then but is quick to regain his footing. Hero is
a sweetheart and trusts his foster mom and even
gives lots of kisses. Hero is great in the car, in
his crate, and is quite calm considering he is only
about 10 months old. Once he is recovered from his
surgery and has his stitches out we will have him
neutered. Hero is good with other dogs and likes the
ladies. (HE LOVES his foster sister Ava and follows
her everywhere.) He does get excited every now and
then so has to be crated so he stays calm and does
not rip his stitches out. Hero loves pizza and will
do anything to get it. His stitches are due to come
out on the 23rd, and by then we know he will
be getting around like he lost his leg at birth.

I get
the call that Hero is doing fine and seems to be
getting around ok and has to be on antibiotics and
Metacam for the pain for two weeks. He is now ready
to go home, or at least to a temporary home until a
permanent home can be found for Hero that will treat
him as he should be - with love and respect. That is
where SHARES comes into the story.
Upon his entry to his foster moms place he has to be
carried as he has not seen linoleum before and
cannot make the stairs on his own. Within 10-15
minutes Hero made his way up the three stairs from
the garage to meet his new foster sister and
brothers who were checking out his wounds, and as I
watched they almost were trying to help Hero and
were not playing rough or getting in his way. Quite
the sight to see, how everyone seemed to want to
help Hero.

Hero
comes through his surgery, and now begins the
process of recovery and to see if he can walk again.
