Description
Little Summit was picked up on the side of the road and brought to a local shelter. Upon his arrival it was very apparent that Summit was in need of help and fast. Lethargic, dirty, and emaciated, shelter staff immediately began putting medical supports in place. When it was felt that Summit may be stabilizing, they reached out to MAGSR to see if we could bring this adorable little guy into our care so he could continue to get the support he needed in a more puppy friendly environment. We immediately welcomed Summit into the MAGSR family and placed him with an experienced foster family.
Although Summit entered the rescue feeling a little more like a puppy, unfortunately, this did not last long. Recognizing that Summit was again in need of medical support, his foster family rushed him to the ER. He is currently hospitalized with one of MAGSR's fantastic internal specialists. We are running tests and providing Summit with supportive care while our veterinarians work hard to determine next steps. Although MAGSR will do everything we can to help Summit survive, this is a very expensive undertaking. Please consider donating to Summit's care. Your financial support will not only help Summit but it will also help us meet the needs of other medical dogs.
Updates
Sweet Summit received some fantastic care while at the ER. His little body was given supportive care while x-rays were run and an ultrasound performed. Everything came back looking great. As Summit rested, his body had the chance to begin recuperating. When ready, he began eating again and his puppy-like charms emerged. Within 24 hours, Summit was released to his foster family. Since his arrival back in their home, Summit has been playing, eating, and interacting the way puppies should. A huge fan of toys, Summit happily moves from toy to toy making sure he gives a little attention to each one. He is goofy and playful but also loves snuggles with his people. An incredible house guest, Summit has been making huge progress with housebreaking. He has yet to have an accident in his crate and seems to understand that the outside is for taking care of business. Clearly intelligent, Summit is beginning to learn a few simple commands. Food, praise, and toy motivated, this little guy is going to be the star at training class. Although an absolute joy to be around, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy energy and antics. They get into things, whine, and will chew on inappropriate items. With time, patience, adn training, Summit will develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to become. Summit is looking for a loving household that will commit to him for a lifetime. Could that be with you?
As great as this news is, Houston and Zulu could still use your help.
