About Weston

�%9D%A4��%8F Meet Weston - A Whole Lot of Love in a 55-Pound Package! ��%90%BE Hi there! My name is Weston, and I'm living proof that even after life has dealt you a pretty crummy hand, your heart can still be full of love. �%9D%A4��%8F I'm believed to be around 3-4 years old, weigh about 55 pounds (although I'm working on putting on another 7 pounds to get my handsome self back to fighting weight), and I'm pretty much a professional sweetheart. My story didn't start out very happily. I was found wandering the streets of Texas, sick, skinny, and in pretty rough shape. It's clear I once knew what it was like to have a family, but somehow I ended up alone. I was suffering from a severe case of mange and a nasty bacterial skin infection. The shelter was a scary place for me, and I shut down so much that I landed on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, someone saw something worth saving in me. And boy, am I glad they did! Since arriving in foster care, I've been getting the medical attention I desperately needed. I'm being treated with steroids, antibiotics, and medicated baths for my skin infection, and I've already come such a long way. I look and act like a completely different dog! I'm still healing, and I have some scars that may be from the mange, skin infection, past trauma, abuse, or perhaps a combination of all of those things. Unfortunately, I'll never be able to tell you exactly what happened to me. What I can tell you is that I'm ready to leave that chapter behind. I'm also heartworm positive and currently receiving treatment. I've got a little more healing to do, but I'm making progress! Now for the important stuff! ��ե I'm a certified sweetheart. Seriously, I have SO much love to give. I just want to be someone's boy. ��%90 Dog-friendly? Absolutely! I settled right into my foster home with SIX resident dogs! I eat alongside them, sleep alongside them, and happily hang out with my furry friends. I'm not an aggressive guy at all. ���%8F��%8F A homebody with good taste. I love my cozy dog bed and my kennel. I also enjoy lounging in the dog run, soaking up the sunshine with my buddies. Sometimes the best things in life are the simple ones! ��s Adventure buddy in training! I love going for walks and do well on a leash. Just keep an eye out for rabbits because apparently those little furry things are VERY interesting! ��Ԭ A little shy at first. Men can make me a bit nervous initially, but give me a little time and kindness, and I'll warm right up. I just need someone who understands that trust is something you build. ��%8F� Still learning the ropes. When I first arrived at my foster home, I had a little panic moment and made a quick escape over the fence. I was gone for about 10 minutes, but thankfully came back! I also had a few little accidents in the house during my first three days. Since then, I've settled in beautifully, and neither issue has repeated. New places can be overwhelming, especially when you've been through what I have! A Few Things My Forever Family Should Know �%9D%A4��%8F I'm still recovering medically, so my new family will need to be committed to continuing my veterinary care, including my heartworm treatment and skin treatment. I'll also need to follow my veterinarian's activity restrictions while going through heartworm treatment. Because I've had an initial fence-jumping incident when I was frightened and overwhelmed, I'll need a securely fenced outdoor area, supervision outside, and a family who understands the importance of keeping me safe. I'm doing wonderfully in my foster home, but a little extra caution will help make sure I never end up lost and alone again. My skin is still healing, and some of my scars may always be part of my story. We simply don't know exactly what I've endured. What we do know is that I'm getting better every day! Here's What I Really Want You to Know... I'm not broken. I'm not damaged goods. I'm a loving, gentle boy who just needed someone to give him a chance. I don't need a perfect family. I just need MY family. Someone who will be patient while I continue to heal, give me a safe place to land, take me on walks, let me enjoy sunny afternoons, and remind me every day that I'm finally home. I've already survived being lost, sick, scared, and overlooked. Now I'd really love to experience the other side of life: being cherished, spoiled, included, and loved forever. I've got the heart, the personality, and an endless supply of affection. I just need someone to give me my chance. I was once a boy nobody wanted. Now I'm hoping to become the boy somebody can't imagine living without. Could you be my happily ever after? �%9D%A4��%8F Love, Weston ��%90%BE To apply: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/colorado-animal-care-foundation/application-form/6ac9254147493bd1ca0cbd85/adoption/6ad27bd2f7139a134d034796 Any questions:[email protected]
