He was tied to a swing
set his entire life, with his only shelter a piece of
plywood leaning against the metal frame. He didn't have a
name, and his owners couldn't be bothered with
vaccinations.
Neighbors finally
called Animal Control, who immediately rescued this six
month old pup and brought him to the Lincoln Veterinary
Hospital. He was neutered and vaccinated, and then GRRI-NJ was
called. Eileen McFadden, one of our volunteers, happened to
be monitoring our hotline when the call came in. She agreed
to pick up the pup and "foster" him until a suitable home
was found.
It was love at first
sight. This lovable little puppy has been named O'Hara. He
now lives with Eileen and her husband Drew in Westchester County,
New York, along with their other Goldens and cats.
His dingy, matted coat is now a beautiful shiny
reddish-gold; the mats are gone and his feathers are
growing. As the family veterinarian put it "He looks like a
McFadden dog....you can't give him up!" And of course, they never
will!
