Saul, a brave 6-month-old Retriever pup, is finally ready to
find his forever home after successfully recovering from distemper at the SanAntonio Humane Society (SAHS).
To celebrate his paw-some recovery, the SAHS clinic staff surprised
Saul with a fun party filled with balloons, toys, treats and a delicious peanut
butter and milk-bone cake on June 24.
Saul’s story is one example of the endless teamwork it takes to
help an animal in need.
“The clinic team has been Saul's sole caregivers and playmates
while he has been in the infirmary. Once Saul recovered from his illness and
was waiting on a negative test result, it became clear that he needed daily
enrichment and training to supplement him during his quarantine period,” Dr.
Leslie Hopes, associate veterinarian at the SAHS, said. “The clinic team's
devotion to providing Saul with splash time in his puppy pool and teaching him
basic training - all while maintaining strict personal protective equipment -
has been incredible.”
Though struggling with the illness, the puppy was as sweet as
could be and all he wanted was attention from all staff members. During his
recovery, he enjoyed some playtime outside and learned many commands such as “sit,”
“shake,” and “lay down.”
Finally, after four months of receiving specialized and
life-saving care at the SAHS, Saul tested negative for shedding the virus and is
ready to go home to a loving family. The SAHS clinic staff believes he would
make a great addition to any family. Please help us find this sweet boy his home
by sharing his story!
