Harley came to me as a foster 7 years ago. His owner had passed away and the family dumped him at the shelter. (I could tell later that Harley was spoiled rotten by that person and was the center of their world, and he made sure I kept up the same treatment.) Thankfully DREAM Dachshund Rescue, Education & Adoption Mission took him in. When I saw his picture, I knew something was special about him. He then had a routine dental done and had to be rushed to the ER because he nearly bled to death. Not long after that, he was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease which he had to start taking expensive daily meds for. Then he had a problem with bladder stones, and the vet ended up rerouting his urethra through to his scrotum area so he could pass the stones when they developed. Somewhere in there, everyone agreed he was not going to be able to be adopted out and was deemed a “forever foster” Then, last July he had to be rushed to the ER and we found out he was in congestive heart failure and given about 5 months to live. So here we are, over a year later and we finally made the tough call to allow him to cross the rainbow bridge to reunite with his original person. We’ll miss you Harley bug. 🌈 Thanks again to those of you who’ve helped donate to his medical care over the years
