Occasionally on this blog, my good friend Kim, an emergency veterinary technician, asks for our help to find a forever home for a pet in need.
Biggie’s foster mom reached out to us and asked to share Biggie’s story to help him find a forever home. Therefore, today I would like to share with you Biggie’s adoption story.
“We are guessing that Biggie is a Pug/Chihuahua mix, approximately 8-years-old intact male. He is currently being fostered through Antioch Animal Services.
On October 28th, 2018, he was hit by a car and was left seizing in the road. A Good Samaritan brought him to the emergency hospital in Antioch, where he was treated for head trauma to stop the seizures. However, due to a non-surgical pelvic fracture he was unable to go to the shelter, so I brought him home and fostered him before he was released.
He is currently recovering well and walking on his own, you wouldn’t even know he had a recent trauma! He still can’t jump yet, but at times tries his hardest (even though I tell him no!). He is great with other dogs and cats and loves toys. Biggie is crate trained, potty trained, not a barker, shows no signs of food aggression, and loves to snuggle. If you’re on the sofa and pull out a blanket you better be prepared for him staring you down for snuggles. He does need to be neutered and have his vaccines updated (since we don’t know his history), which can be done through the shelter or the adoptees veterinarian of choice.
Since I worked at the hospital he was brought to, the shelter leaves it up to me to find him a home. Previously, I found a home for a pet and filled out a foster application for that person, then once they got the pet neutered the shelter finalized the adoption. Alternatively, I could set up the neuter and everything through the shelter, then someone could adopt him. It just depends on preference of the person.” – Rosa (Biggie’s Foster Mom)
