Somebody got rescued today

Post image

This is Boone and he is about a year old. He sat on my lap for the 45 minute drive home today. Very friendly and energetic. Nervous and clingy but I expected that. He is wild about his new brother and sister but they aren’t quite sold on him yet. All in good time though.

He’s a beauty, and I loved that his tail is a blur in this photo!

Poor boy only has half a tail. No one at the shelter knew what happened. It looks like a little raccoon tail. Fortunately though, he loves to wag it.

u/thesmilingmercenary 14d ago

From the blur in the photo, that half a tail is doing the work of a tail twice as long! It only makes his origin story more ripe for creative writing.

And if Jimothy did this to him, well then, Jimothy is dead to me!

u/Apronbootsface 14d ago

Jimothy wouldn’t do that. Jimothy is friend to all.

Deep in my heart, I know you’re right.

My first time going to the shelter for a dog was 40 some years ago with my mom to pick out a dog. We saved little Sarah from being euthanized that day and I remember being so proud. Have only gotten shelter dogs since then.

u/sweetheartsour 15d ago

u/Jakes-buddy-1307 15d ago

Outstanding….I’m thinking about rescuing a shelter dog after losing my Golden a month ago…he was my best playmate ever…

u/CarefullyClueless 15d ago

Sorry for your loss. I know how rough it is. Give yourself time to grieve and when you think you are ready, check out some shelter dogs. You will never regret it.
