Mugsy, boxer/american bulldog/pit mix, needs a loving home!!!!!
MUGSY'S STORY!
We need to find foster care or a permanent home for a 5 year old, white
boxer/bulldog/pit mix that has been living near our feral cat colony for a
few days. It's a little complicated, but basically his "mother" died and
her daughter brought him to the Humane Society (which is right across the
street from us on Howell Mill Road). They were full, so she asked if they
would euthanize him for her. They didn't, thank goodness, but one of their
volunteers (named Doug) had to get him out of there and he is now in the
front yard of an abandoned house. Doug is feeding him but we knew that he
needed vet care immediately and couldn't bear to see him sitting out there
alone any longer. So, we took him to our vet today. He is 64 lbs of muscle
and energy! He probably didn't get much attention in his former life and
was left out in the yard to fend for himself. He just needs a loving,
attentive home and some training. Due to his lack of care, he is unneutered
and heartworm positive. BUT, our amazingly kind and wonderful vet at the
Buckhead Animal Clinic is willing to vaccinate, neuter AND proceed with
heartworm treatment free of charge!!! This is tremendously generous and
speaks volumes about how much Mugsy deserves a second chance at a truly good
life!!! PLEASE contact us at
bandcmurtha@biltmorecomm.com or call my cell at
404.944.8151 if you can help us or know of someone who can. We live in a
3rd floor apartment with lots of cats, so we just can't keep him with us.
