Velveteen – Welcome to Rescue – Adopted

Click here to read the blog post on Velveteen’s progress with the Thundershirt.

Velveteen was rescued by Erika Fontana and originally fostered by Zondra. We immediately had her operated on to remove her bladder stones. When we first got Velveteen, she was a mess. Grooming, proper diet and exercise turned this dog around. After she recovered from her surgery, she was fostered by Jesse to get her even more fit.

Updated photos can be found on The Dog Liberator’s Fan Page on Facebook.

Foster Update. Our own Joan, who adopted Carter, now Carson, is fostering Velveteen. It appears that every time Joan would visit Jesse, Velveteen was convinced that she should go home with her, so she did!

Here’s an awesome photo of Joan and Carson at our reunion last October.

Joan evaluation of Velveteen is that she is incredibly affectionate, a real cuddle bug, low energy, enjoys long walks, but is no trouble whatsoever.

02/10/11 Update: Amazing how many people it took to save this little girl. Erika, Zondra, Jesse and Joan… and everyone took one part of Velveteen and made it better! Well, the results are amazing!

Velveteen was adopted by Helen and her daughter, Patina. We’ll have photos and updates soon, but I just spoke with Patina for an update:

Velveteen is not experiencing any separation anxiety. She has learned the house, and asks for the door, she enjoyed the dog park, and Patina said she had a blast. She doesn’t wander away too much from Helen or Patina, but Patina admits, she’s very attached to her mother, Helen. They are accommodating Velveteen’s needs, and this adoption has been more successful than I could ever imagine!
