Christopher's Story

Christopher is a certified sweetheart and basically just a big puppy. He’s a silly, goofy buddy who loves to scratching his back on the grass and going on walks. He's dog-friendly and looking for his forever home. Christopher is a loyal boy who needs multiple people in his home since he can get possessive over his human. <br/><br/>Check out #sdfChristopher on Facebook or streetdogfoundation.com/pup-profiles/christopher for more information and pictures! <br/><br/>Christopher's Rescue Story:<br/>Though I have been sadly been down and out for a while, my rescue story began two weeks ago. It was a blistering day with temperatures of over 100 degrees…a horrible heat for everyone…but especially for those of us left outside. I was a dehydrated and exhausted homeless boy, so flea-ridden that the hair on the back half of my right hip was gone, and now red and bleeding from my scratching and licking and so sore from sunburn.<br/>I had wandered aimlessly for days on end looking for food, water, shelter, and just someone to speak kindly to me. I crawled under a truck at a house for relief from the scalding pavement. Unfortunately, the people living there didn’t want me there at all. They would not talk to me at all, they just called the shelter to come get me, but all I wanted was a bowl of water. Time just kept passing, and I kept getting weaker and weaker.<br/>Over 27 hours later with no food or water, I was giving up hope. Unbeknownst to me, the Streetdog crew heard about my situation and headed straight out to find me! Could someone really want to help me?!<br/>A kind eyed man with a gentle voice arrived where I was laying, crawled right under the truck to calm me, and let me know he was there to save me. He first offered me a gesture that anyone can do for us homeless pups out there; he offered me a clean cool bowl of water!<br/>I was so surprised at his goodness that I put my total trust in him. He told me that I was going to be okay and that I would not have to be alone again. I knew that he was full of love for me….I could feel it coming from his very soul.<br/>He took me to the emergency vet where they kept me under observation, and fully hydrated me after having gone so long without anything to drink. Two days later I transferred to Grace Animal Hospital where the Docs and staff made sure that I was comfy and had everything I needed.<br/>My hip wound is healing, I am fully hydrated and eating well now, but dogs like me with no protection out there usually have heart worms, so I am currently being treated for that and gaining my strength back.<br/>The Streetdog Family had recently lost one of their own precious friends, and was celebrating his life…27 hours after my rescue…and on the 27th day of August. They wanted to honor his memory by passing his name to me. So I am proud to bear the memory of Christopher Morris Burnham with love! Signed with hope and a new life…
