Been around for a few weeks now but thought I ll introduce us!! Meet Zorro…he is 3yrs and had quite a story!! Somehow he landed at a shelter…not doing well!! But fast forward he found his forever home with us…two skeptics turned believers and has a GSD sibling and a kitty. He came in highly stressed, a bit unsure due to some prior abuse, underweight, flea ridden, severe diarrhea, UTI. Not to mention a giardia infection while at the shelter.


But happy nonetheless, cuddly and lot of woo-woos and happy dances!! Loves hiking and long walks, watching TV and lots of roobs!! Eats like he never saw food for ages!! Will be posting more on this survivor

Congratulations on the new furbaby

Giardia is a bear to deal with. Making sure you don't end up with the other animals getting it can be a hassle. My middle dog had giardia and whipworms when I got him. I had to run around my backyard with bleach spray, a bag, and lysol wipes so I could make sure to contain every ounce of poop. Would pick up the poop, bleach the spot it fell, then wipe his butt and feet down with the lysol wipes until he tested clear.

Thank you. That was very helpful tip. He tested clear now. But I was worried when he came out positive. He also had to be on bland diet when we got him home. Now he is eating well and I think even gained a lil weight. He is looking healthy and not his mellow self right after he came from the shelter. There is a bit of that husky spunk now

What a beautiful pup. Congrats,

Great looking girl ... he resemble one I had to put down last fall which leaves me with really mixed emotions ... not your dog, just me.

Really glad that he's coming up so well.  Rescues really do make the best dogs, even if sometimes you have unexpected problems until they settle in.
