Notes from Paw Parent

Paw Parent facilitated Cowboy's rescue from the Lancaster shelter in 2014. He was adopted by a couple that gave him a stable loving home until they ended in divorce this year and poor Cowboy became the innocent victim. Paw Parent was contacted and we welcomed him with open arms. How could we not? He is a 14 year old treasure, incredibly sweet with not a mean bone in his body. A couple of months after his arrival he started to have glaucoma in his left eye that did not respond to medication and got worse quickly. Glaucoma is not curable and treatment would be life long with no guarantee that the eye could be stabilized, so we made the difficult decision to have the eye removed. He has recovered beautifully and is back to his happy go lucky sweet personality. His greeting when I come home is so heartwarming, he is so overjoyed that he literally serenades me with a beautiful song. He gets along with all the dogs here, is gentle, mellow and an absolute delight to have around. Unfortunately he cannot come to adoptions with us because he gets car sick. He is so deserving of a second chance of a home where he can live out his golden years. Will it be yours? He is neutered, microchipped and current on all his vaccines. Please call us at 661-724-0642 or email us pawparent@gmail.com if you would like to meet him.
