Sully was originally surrendered to one of our participating vets because at 10 weeks of age he was obviously ill. This vet suspected parvo and transferred the dog to Animal Medical & Surgical Center in Scottsdale so that the dog could get 24-hour care. Fortunately, the parvo seemed to be a mild case with no intussusception (telescoping intestines) involved. One of our AGR member couples agreed to foster him through his convalescence. Within days, he was playing and generally enjoying being in a household with two parents who doted on him, three teenagers and two adult dogs. He had all his puppy vaccines and will be neutered when he is a year old. The whole family was enamored with this cute puppy. She reported: "Sully is doing amazing. The kids couldn’t be more in love if they tried! He is settling right in and starting to respond to his name and going potty outside. No poops in the house but still some pee accidents. He eats well, is drinking, takes his meds perfectly and usually is sleeping through the night about 11:30 PM to 6 AM." The family called a family meeting and the quick 100% consensus was to adopt this little boy, a first-refusal right AGR allows all families who take a dog as a foster. Sully is now completely well and exhibiting all the normal puppy behaviors. Our wish for him is a long and happy life with this great family!
