Saving Senior Scooby Doo

SCOOBY DOO was found under the Van Wyck Expressway back in 2018, abandoned with another dog. While the other dog went to rescue, SCOOBY DOO was adopted out. 12 days ago, after almost three years since we last abandoned, he was tied up outside Brooklyn’s Firehouse Ladder 103, abandoned a second time and in awful condition. He three months shy of 11 years old now, an emaciated #elderbull with multiple masses littering his body. He walks with a pronounced limp and appears to be very, very hard of hearing, if not completely deaf.

We will share more on this gentle senior’s story as he unpacks his fear, pain and sadness in our #OneLuckyPup foster program and sees our veterinary care team later this week. For now, we have set his fundraiser at 3K and will adjust this as his medical needs are better understood. We are grateful for any level of support you want to offer.

Senior dogs are one of life’s greatest gifts, a gentle reminder that love is unconditional. They remain enamored of us no matter the days we forgot to think of them, the nights we stayed out too late while they were waiting for us, the family vacations they missed out on and those times it took us days to remember to pick up more treats on our way home from work. If we are lucky enough to be with a dog during their golden years and able to appreciate all they have generously offered us, their final gift is given. Lock eyes with a senior dog while extending an act of love and you’ll catch a glimpse of their very soul peering right back out at you. These are moments not to be missed.

Please don’t forget this as your dog ages. There is nothing worse to them than losing you.

About us:

We accept all breeds into our program with an emphasis on pit bull rescue. OLP specializes in dogs facing extraordinary challenges. We focus on the quality of our cases, not the quantity. By keeping our program small, typically no more than fifteen dogs at a time, we put an intensive amount of attention into each dog. Learn more at www.mrbonesandco.org
