Foster insights/story
Chevy and his sibling needed rescuing from a backyard where they had been fed, but never touched. They were 6-8 months old, born sometime in December, and they were all that were left of their litter, so we just brought them both to our land.
After weeks of working with them continuously, they bonded to my mother. He loves our service dog and just needs a home that can keep up with him. An active home would be wonderful for him.
