      Forever Home - Traer Scott

      BEAN

      two-year-old female cockapoo

      Bean (originally Rosemary) was bred in a puppy mill and at about ten weeks old was trampled by a horse on the farm. The incident left her with a broken leg. The mill owners brought her to a vet, which is very unusual, but when they learned how much it would cost to fix her leg, the farmer abandoned her at sthe vet’s office. The vet contacted a local puppy mill rescue that agreed to pay for her surgery. A family who lived near the surgeon’s office agreed to foster her throughout her recovery and rehabilitation.

      After the leg surgery was completed and paid for by the rescue, the puppy mill owner asked if they could have her back so they could sell her. The rescue refused. The farmer also wanted the crate that they had left her in at the vet returned to him.

      Rosemary’s foster family had recently lost their eldest dog and were excited to have a puppy in the house to distract from the grief. However, Rosemary was not an easy puppy. She was extremely active and rambunctious, and she barked and nipped relentlessly. Soon after she finished treatment for her leg, her foster family went on vacation and their dog sitter nicknamed her the devil dog.

      When the family returned, they found that Rosemary had noticeably calmed down. She was still wild but was finally starting to show her sweet, quiet side. They decided to adopt Rosemary as an antidote to their recent grief and renamed her Bean after a beloved character in the sci-fi novel Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. She is still a mix of crazy and sweet, but she brings endless joy and amusement to her now forever home.

      BUSTER

      eleven-and-a-half-year-old male mixed breed

      Buster was one of countless animals who suffered along with their people during Covid. He was surrendered to a city shelter in the middle of the pandemic. Buster had belonged to an elderly disabled person who had been quarantining alone with him inside his home for almost a year. Apparently, family members had been dropping off dog food and supplies for them but were never allowed inside the house for fear of transmitting Covid. The family thought that everything was OK, but it wasn’t. Buster’s owner was sick, and Buster had been neglected to the point that he was emaciated, had a severe limp, and was flea infested. He was wasting away, literally near death, when a family member with power of attorney signed Buster over to the city shelter in January 2021. He was quickly transferred to a private rescue with more resources, where his medical issues could be treated.

      Buster gained eight pounds in two weeks, but X-rays revealed old, untreated injuries that had happened when he was a puppy, causing severe osteoarthritis. It was soon discovered that Buster was a lifer in the shelter system. During his exams a microchip was found, indicating that he had in fact been adopted from the same rescue in 2010, after being brought up as a southern transport dog. His history prior to 2010 is unknown, but most of the transports were found as strays before being sent up to New England.

      Buster was gentle and kind and would limp around the shelter to say hi to people. Although he was ridiculously sweet and well tempered, the rescue was unsure if they could place him because of his poor health outlook, but after he was stabilized, Buster was adopted out in March 2021 as a medical/hospice adoption, meaning that the home had full knowledge he would require a lot of medical care and might not have much time left. He still limps but is happy and loved.

      CARL

      five-week-old male shih tzu/poodle mix

      Carl was born in a wire cage in a puppy mill. He was surrendered to a rescue in May 2021 at just four weeks old, after his front leg had been mutilated by an unknown animal while he was still living in the cage he had been born in. The remaining humerus bone had been left exposed for more than two days. When the puppy mill owners finally took Carl to the vet, they wanted to know if the necessary care would cost more than what they could get for selling him. The numbers didn’t add up to their liking, and they left him at the vet’s office.

      After the amputation, Carl healed and adjusted very quickly to having three legs (as dogs often do). He is now a normal, rambunctious puppy who loves running in the yard and playing with toys. A forever home is already waiting for
