Notes from Street Paws

MEET "BROTHER" Brother has been completely vetted which includes microchipping, neutering, ALL current and up to date vaccinations, rabies vaccine, heartworm testing, heartworm and flea prevention and completed deworming. Brother is a very sweet boy! He is very active and loves hiking and being outdoors. He is super playful and LOVES water! He has a very unique story that is very compelling and heartfelt. We are extremely grateful that we could help this precious family in need and feel honored to have had the opportunity to work along side his foster family. Brother was being fostered by a license and trained dog trainer and animal care foster. She named him from the movie " brother where art thou". His foster /trainer worked day and night to train him, foster him with adequate care and be a advocate for him finding his forever home. Unfortunately, his foster was brutally attacked by a man she was trying to help. He has caused intensive suffering, pain, trauma and irreversible damage to her body and spirit. Although our shelter stays very full especially with larger breed dogs.....I knew I had to help this amazing family. I also wanted to take the load off of the family with uncertainty where Brother may go and be cared for at. .. allowing their family to focus on recovery. The family has been outstanding and so generous in the darkest times. I feel honored to be apart of this journey. Brother is a outstanding boy! He is very smart and would make a incredible addition to a home and family. If you love being outdoors and dog cuddles this boy is for you!

Age-appropriate vaccinations
