Brutus's Story

Brutus is such a wonderful senior boy who deserves his happily ever after. <br/><br/>We pulled him as a very unhappy and scared boy from a local shelter. He was bitey, hard to handle and sad. He was likely in a lot of pain because he had 22 rotten teeth that needed pulling and an anal gland that had ruptured. He also has a grade 4/5 heart murmur so it was truly amazing he the trauma of being at the shelter didn't kill him. <br/><br/>Once we got his teeth pulled, his anal glands resolved, the infection cleared with antibiotics and his heart medication squared away, he turned into a completely different dog! He's cuddly, playful with other tiny dogs and loves his treats. <br/><br/>We're sad he had such a rough life before being rescued but we're excited to see him spend the rest of his life being doted on. <br/><br/>Brutus will need 2 heart medications that cost roughly $80 a month. Otherwise, he's a healthy senior boy. Check ups every 6 months is recommended to ensure his heart medication is the right dose. If you think you'd be able to give this good boy a forever home, message us at Happy Tails Ranch Rescue. <br/><br/>We also have a FB page so you can see his journey and additional pictures. If you inquire via Petfinder, be sure to check your spam for a response.
