Pluto - Puppy

At only 3 months old Pluto should be happy, healthy and enjoying puppyhood...sadly, he is VERY sick! Pluto found himself as a stray at a high kill shelter and now he has a severe Upper Respiratory Infection. He also tested positive for Parvo! We had to react fast as we were his only hope...no one else was coming to rescue him. We are doing everything we can for him. Update: Pluto has recovered and is now waiting for his forever family to adopt him. FAST FORWARD: Merry Christmas from Rico, Cheryl and I. Rico is doing very well. He now weighs 18 lbs and is a little taller. The vet says he probably won’t get to any more than 25 lbs. She also thinks he has some Boxer in him which would be consistant with his springyness and his use of his front paws as hands. We start 12 sessions of obedience training on January 9. We have been taking him on a lot of walks (up to 3 miles) and he has had a little time in a couple of fenced in fields to run free. He is fast! He loves to ride in the car and has had quite a lot of exposure to other dogs. He remains a very smart, funny, and lovable pup and we think we made a good choice. We LOVE our new family member, now Rico!!!
