New Addition


Well today we had an addition to our family a puppy, half boxer, half lab and fully energetic. This guy had a rough start, his first owner didn’t want him or his 8 other newborn siblings so to get rid of them took them out in the back yard dug a hole and tossed them into the hole and covered them up alive. When neighbors heard the commotion, they went to rescue them and pulled them all out, and Brody is the only one that survived. He was fostered by a friend that loves dogs dearly and had tears in her eyes when he was loaded into the car. Two totally different people; one with selfish malice one with unbridled compassion. Now he is in his final home and being loved on by an entire family. The best part; the thump, thump, thump of that large tail as he is being scratched behind the ears.
