 Thunder

Adopted October 2007

Thunder has been a faithful companion to an elderly couple his whole life and shared his home with his 18 yr old kitty friend. Unfortunately his mommy passed away recently and his daddy is going far away to move closer to his human son. Unable to take his pets, he is selling all he owns at auction and just wanted to know that his beloved pets would be cared for properly. The rescuer that facilitated this rescue said it was one of the hardest things she has ever done to watch the daddy say goodbye to his beloved and loyal friend. Thunder is very quiet right now, confused and sad. He would probably do best in a quiet home, but has done fine with kitties and has not been a problem around the other dogs. He looks forward to another loving home where he can faithfully sit next to another caring human companion.
