Meet Trucker

Just before Christmas 2024, a kind person found, 5 yr old, Trucker living inside of a hole underneath a truck trailer in a trucking parking lot.

Trucker was so sweet and severely underweight. He was also covered in scars and had an open wound around his ear. His hero and now foster mom contacted Daisy Bean for help. She got him into the vet the next day. He was very well-behaved but in bad shape. He was starving, severely dehydrated, anemic from severe hookworms, the wounds around his ears caused an ear infection, and he came back with a strong positive HW test. The vet also agreed with our suspicions that his many scars and wounds were consistent with being used as a bait dog. He was also probably used for breeding for years.

With a lot of love and care, Trucker is healing so well! He is gaining weight and is about 55lbs right now. His ear has healed up nicely, infections and worms have been treated, and he has begun HW treatment and scheduled his neuter! He is a wonderful dog that deserves to see the good in this world.

He loves to cuddle on the couch and watch TV with his foster mom. He is very good in his crate at night, he keeps his kennel & crate clean. His foster has been using a bellyband for potty training and he hasn’t had an accident yet!

He is friendly with men and women, good with kids 5+, and tolerant of the bath.

Trucker has a eeyore type personality and is a sweet loving boy who is just happy to be around the people he loves. Due to his traumatic past as a bait dog he has not been tested with other dogs. We will test upon request but he will most likely need to be the only dog or with another dog that is going to respect his boundaries and make him feel safe. He has not been tested with cats.
