Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi my name is Sandy - I am a very handsome, 7 year old male weighing in at 52 pounds. The Doc says I need to put on some weight; no worries there now that AGB is making sure I am eating a good diet. My former family contacted AGB to see if they could find a good home for me. My human sibling had allergies and evidently they said I was making her sick. I guess it was best to leave so she wouldn't be sick anymore; but it sure made me sad to leave. I do enjoy being around other dogs and even enjoy a cat or two. I think kids are pretty cool too. One of my favorite things to do is going on car rides. I am a happy go lucky guy who just enjoys life. Unfortunately there is a bit of bad news regarding my health. It appears I am in the early stages of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) whatever that is. Anyhow no biggy, it was found early enough so I can get started with treatment. There was a double whammy however, I am also heartworm positive, so after my CHF is under control I will be treated for the heartworms. Phewww! It’s all about attitude and mine is great. So I know I will be healthy and strong in no time. As sad as I was to leave my family, the best thing that happened to me was AGB, because they are going to make me all better and I know it will cost a lot of money. In the end I am one lucky boy. In no time I will be ready to Rock my new forever family's world. Remember, stay positive and good things will come your way, that's my motto. More to come, Love Sandy Update: 9 July - Just thought I would update everyone on my progress so far. I have been undergoing my treatment for my CHF. I am doing really good with my medicine. I have maybe 2 more weeks and then the heartworm treatment will begin. I heard the folks at AGB say that I will need to be on my CHF medication for the rest of my life. I heard them say that the medicine will cost between $150 - $200 a month for my new forever family. I am not sure what all that means, but I am praying there is a special family out there who believes, like I do, that I am special enough to be a part of their family!
