Update on one incredibly loved, super special dog once known as Houston, then known as LONESTAR, and now again known as HOUSTON.
As someone typically known to talk the wallpaper off the wall, the last few days have found me nearly speechless.
Beginning with Colleen Bell and Brian of Goodboy Dog Recovery as well as Parker, to this community, more like the army of people who rallied, posted, shared, prayed for, and donated to help save this dogs life-my hat is off to every single one of you!
You have saved him.
Your belief in him has afforded this precious boy a gift of immeasurable value. The gift of life.
Because of your support we were able to silence the ticking of a timestamped clock on his life and replace it with the promise of never having to survive alone in the woods, for God only knows how long, and never having to spend week after week in a shelter kennel- ever again.
To know this pup is to know how worthy he is to now have safety, security of a soft place to lay his head, friendship and companionship all with the intention of showing him nothing but love and understanding.
Given that love, by the support of your chance, this lil survivor is finally able to show the dog he truly is. He has been perfectly behaved-towards all people he’s met on this journey and inside a home.
He is sweet, affectionate, gentle, handsome!, obedient, and open to learning all things his favorite person- his foster dad Dan, is going to teach him.
All you have to do is look in his eyes as he looks at Dan and you literally feel the gratitude and love he is feeling about this guy this new chance on life he’s been given.
We’re going to do our best to keep you updated on his progress. It’s only been a few days but it’s been a beautiful few so far so we wanted to share them with you.
Again, from the bottom of my heart-thank you to each and every one of you who made sure that his story can continue to be written.
