Wow, he is so handsome!
Gryphon, what a kind thing for you to do, enjoy!
aww
@gryphon so lucky!! Both of you! How will you ever say goodbye when Roland gets adopted? sniff sniff.
Roland hasnt had it easy. He was abused by his former owners and then abandoned and got sick with a neurovirus and was found near death. now though, he is a sweet and loving dog who isnt shy about letting me know when and where he wants to be petted
He's picked out spots in my house that he has chosen as his sleeping spots.
awwww....what a sweetie.
awwww, @gryphon sounds like Roland is burrowing his way into your heart?
Roland isnt good with other dogs, as he used to fight with them for food when he was abandoned. When taking him out to my backyard so he could play in the snow, he saw another dog and ran so fast he almost pulled my arm out and attacked the other dog. The other dog is a friendly Golden Retriver who is also a loving dog but he defended himself well,. Both were bruised and bleeding but his owner understood and didn't hold it against me. I took him to the vet, and will be more careful in the future
Also tomorrow he is going in for neutering
big hugs for Roland @gryphon ( wrt his neutering procedure )
That episode with the Golden retriever pooch sounded frightening for all involved. Thank goodness his owner was very understanding of Roland, not a lot of owners would be I'm guessing.
Roland is handling the procedure well and isnt trying to chew his bandages
Roland is lounging around these days, but whenever i open the fridge he is instantly by my side and wants food...its kinda cute actually
All good things must come to an end.
Roland is going to a new family next week.
I will miss him
Oh, I know it's going to be sad for you gryphon, but he needs a furrever home.
Good for you for doing the fostering! :hug:
Roland's adoption fell through. It seems they didnt realize how old he was.
So on friday I met with another set of potential adopters.
Today they confirmed they want to adopt Roland
Great news for Roland. :-)
I am happy Roland will find a family that wants him
I wish I didnt have to type this but the prospective family backed out the day they were supposed to adopt him
wrong photo
Roland right after he was rescued and before I got him

the other image i cant remove is of him before also
That is crazy that someone can abuse a animal to that point. Crazy world we live in
Roland has decided he now loves helping me dig in my garden....well his heart is in the right place
Oh @gryphon I had NO idea his life was that awful before you selflessly decided to change his world! What a difference.
Funny that he likes to " help " you dig in the garden. I'll bet he's just so happy now.
:flowers:
Yesterday was sad for me but it needed to happen.
Roland has been adopted and now has a forever home.
I'll miss you buddy

So today we got a call from the rescue agency.
Roland was out of control with the new family and they couldnt handle him.
They asked us to take him back for now.
When we went to get him, he saw us and his face lit up with joy.
That is quiet a roller coaster ride for your family and Rolland. This just shows how high of a quality of people yourself and your family are to keep comming back to Rollands aid. Please keep us informed on any updates to Rolland
I didnt want to say anything in case it fell though, but Roland now has a new family and seems to be adjusting well.
I'm really gonna miss the big guy
