Addison's Story

Addison is proof that sometimes the toughest souls just need a chance. The shelter estimate him to be around 9 years old and when he came to us in February, he was barely holding on. After being adopted from the shelter last year, he was later confiscated in an investigation-found weighing half of what he once did, severely emaciated, dehydrated, unable to properly use a back leg, and too weak and defeated to even stand. He had given up.<br/>The first week was touch and go with daily fluids, syringe feeding, and a lot of quiet hope. Then, slowly, Addison started choosing life again. He began eating on his own, standing to go potty, wandering out of his pen, asking for snuggles... and just like that, his personality started to shine through.<br/>Now, just two months later, Addison greets his foster mom with zoomies when she gets home. He can hop in and out of his crate, enjoys soft beds, explores the yard, and even picks up toys when he's feeling playful. He's regained nearly all his healthy weight, his appetite is great, and while he is still considered a kidney disease dog, his values have improved significantly and he's no longer anemic. Most importantly he's HAPPY! <br/>Addison will need a home that understands his condition and is committed to maintaining his quality of life with proper care and diet. We don't know what his timeline looks, but what matters is that every day he has now is filled with comfort, love, and joy. He's not just surviving anymore, he's LIVING!<br/>And he's hoping someone out there will choose to love him for however long that may be! <br/>Apply at animalluvrs.org to adopt!
