Our Teddy Bear

Over the weekend, I learned that a 13 year old Golden Retriever mix, was sitting in a shelter, in Indiana. I saw him online, and couldn't get him out of my mind. So I applied to adopt him. His fees were waived because of his age, and I thought most likely, he had already been adopted. So I was surprised on Monday morning, when I got the call that he was available and we were approved! He came to the shelter a few weeks ago, a stray, in rough shape. He had ear infections, bad teeth, dirty and full of mats. He's very hard of hearing, and I'm not sure how well his sight is, in his left eye. He also has some hip problems/pain. (I got a joint supplement for him, and have started that today.) He's going to the vet on Tuesday. But, he is the sweetest boy, and he was more than happy to come home with us today! His hair still has some mats and needs to be trimmed more, and he needs a bath too, but I couldn't wait to share him with all of you. Meet our new sweet boy, Teddy! We hope to make the rest of his life happy and full of love. And I know, that we will get so much more love in return! ❤️
