Here is an update on Little Dude, currently thriving in his fospice home:

Little Dude was found in a field in McCall on his own. He was brought to MCPAWS as a stray and no one claimed him. After he was seen by our vets, it was determined that Little Dude has a heart condition that could mean he doesn’t have much time left. We reached out to our supporters for a fospice home and we were so happy when he was picked up that same day and brought into a loving home where he will spend his remaining time. Here is an update on this adorable little gentleman from his fospice family:

“We love him so much. He’s settling into country life and the family very well. These last few days in particular he’s really turned the corner with lots of happy prancing and tail wags. His spirits have perked up so much. We are so proud of him! He’s a fighter and it’s like he was always meant to be in our family.

Last week Little Man aka Little Dude aka Littles, wanted to come on our evening walk. He did not want me to pick him up and he walked the entire 3 miles with us, even running at times. He also had his first town trip watching softball at Brown’s Park last week and loved the adventure. Since he completed his antibiotics, his demeanor has transformed into a spry, happy, funny little pup with lots of life still in him. Little Man is truly a sweetheart, you cannot help but fall in love with him. He loves to snuggle, he loves to burrow under the blankets, loves soft treats, drinking from the big boy bowl, and adventure outside.

Our other three dogs (two are MCPAWS pups) are all getting along swimmingly and our 20 chickens don’t bother him one bit! All critters seem to understand that Little Man is precious and who we dote on in the family. He has been the perfect addition and we feel that the other dogs and the excitement of the home has actually been great stimulation and comfort for him. Little Dude/Man is never without kisses and love here. We are so thankful we found him and can give him some wonderful years out in the country with us. “

Thank you so much for loving this special buddy.
