Bacon is a purebred Golden Retriever that is 8 years old and needs to be neutered.  He is completely house trained and has never used a crate before.  Bacon is UTD on his shots and does well around children.  Bacon is supposedly chewing on his paws due to boredom (?) so he has a limp right now.  He looooves people food but is fed a dry food with milk added.  He was taken to the HS but they charged too much to euthanize him, thank goodness for us. He was surrendered because both children at his previous home are gone now and he could not be cared for. 

So this is what I know about Bacon after spending travel time with him and vet time and a little home time.  Bacon weighed in at the vet at 92 pounds. The chewing on feet out of boredom – wrong – he is chewing his feet because of phantom pain he is feeling.  We took over 8 x-rays and the orthopedic specialist is going to have to look at them, to see why he won’t put weight on the front right leg.  We will know more later this week so keep watching.  He has two very bad ear infections, matted hair, and needs a bath desperately!  So guess who will be getting a bath today.  Yep Bacon, what a name, I am not sure if he knows his name but we need to get a new one for him.

Bacon is going to hang out with for a short time until we can get him a permanent foster or we find him a home.  So we will be looking for his forever home, do you think you could have a place in your home and heart to love this Sr. boy.  He is the sweetest thing and met everyone without a care, he has been drinking tons of water though and so we really need to figure out that issue.  But he is sound asleep next to Athena and Coal.

So if you are interested in this big beautiful boy let me know and we can meet – it may be a while before he is cleared but he would still like to find his forever family to enjoy for the rest of his life – please contact placementragom [dot] org if you want to be his new family.
