At the beginning of March, we were contacted by our county shelter about a stray dachshund that had come in who was in pretty bad shape. Poor fella, had severe double ear infections, skin infections, fleas, parasites, and really bad teeth. We scooped him up after his stray hold was up and started him on the road to recovery.
Four months later, Sir Winston was finally turning into the handsome devil we knew he was. He had resistant staph infections in both ears that could only be treated with one of two compound drugs. He had many teeth removed, and his skin finally turned from elephant skin to beautiful red fur. His medical bills alone were close to $2k but he was worth every penny. Winston never complained during his treatment, and we all fell in love with the little guy.
When it was time for Sir Winston to find his forever family, his foster family decided to add him to their home permanently.
Congrats to Winston and family. This is why rescue matters!
Thank you Debby for fostering and adopting.
