Skeeter’s Happy Ending

Skeeter II....
Chilliwack Animal Control (the Chilliwack pound) sent an email to the rescue network about a very young, ailing, pup who needed out, quickly. Only 8-weeks old, he had worms, lice, fleas, and was not doing well in a pound; in fact, there was some concern about how long he would last.
AAS got back instantly and told CAC to get the pup to their vet as quickly as possible, get him treated for all the parasites, and board him in the warmth of the clinic until we found a foster home for him.
We did - we asked Diane who has fostered so many dogs for AAS, and she said yes. When we got Skeeter he had a bladder infection, which Diane, with all her years of valuable experience, recognized. That day, Skeeter was in to our vet, and antibiotics were started.
Within days the infection was cleared up and Skeeter started his new life. These pictures taken by Diane tell the tale of a lucky little pup who started life uncared for, went to a pound where the employees really care for their charges and who work with many real animal welfare groups, and came to Diane to be fostered. He sleeps beside Diane's bed and plays all day long with her dogs, goes up the mountain every day for hikes, and when a sleepy little boy has had all the fun he can take, has cuddles with his foster Mum.
Skeeter on his way to fun.... Puppies are last in line...
