Brutus-ADOPTED

Brutus came to LDDR as a dog on his last chance. Even after saving him in the nick of time from being put down, Brutus still had to overcome scarcopic mange, was missing most of his hair, had a major flea infestation, and was struggling to overcome a lifetime of horrible neglect along with mental and physical abuse. You could see in his soulful eyes that he was just a very sad dog resulting in such a difficult puppy-hood. Going to a really awesome foster home, where Brutus was said to have been the sweetest and most well behaved dog ever taken in, at times bringing his new foster mom to tears, he began to receive the kindness, love and care that he’d never known. Though he was not ready for adoption at first as there was much to overcome, it was said that somebody would eventually receive one of the best dogs ever to come through last day. Today Brutus resides with his new forever family, where his new mom describes him as the light of her life, and thanks LDDR for bringing this joy into the whole family. He now has more love than he can handle. Within his new family Brutus has made friends with an autistic 6 year old who’d previously been terrified of dogs, but has since become accustomed to giving doggy hugs and kisses. Brutus and he had apparently bonded in about a half hour and have since become best friends. Thank you so much to Wendy for doing such an amazing job fostering Brutus while nursing him back to health, and for Jeanie & family for taking Brutus into their home forever where we know he is living out a wonderfully happy tail :)
