Profile

If you are looking for a young (1 year old) male that is well behaved and a sweetheart of a dog, look no further, Bozley is your boy. Bozley was surrendered to RAGOM from a family that had young children and no longer had time for Bozley. However, they obviously loved him and treated him well as he is a very well adjusted dog. He is totally housetrained, doesn't chew on things, gets along beautifully with all the other dogs here (small and large) just wants to play, sleeps quietly through the night and I haven't needed to crate him at all. Super, super nice dog.

Bozley had eyelids that turned in and the eyelashes would rub against the eye so he underwent entropian surgery for both eyes. I took him to the vet today for a recheck of the surgery and the right eyelid is healing beautifully. The left eyelid he managed to get a stitch out at some point, so it's a little open and may have a slight gap later, but nothing that should bother him. Right now, he is sporting a cone, which none of us like. But with entropian, if he rubbed his head along the grass or the couch to scratch, he'd rip the stitches out, so we have to leave the cone on until the stitches come out. The stitches will come out in another 7 to 9 days.

Not only is the cone somewhat bothersome (but definitely protects the eyes, so necessary), it makes it darn difficult to get a good picture of our beautiful boy. You will have to use your imagination a little bit and connect the head picture with the body picture and you'll see the whole dog. A week from now all will be healed and we'll be able to get much better pictures. But, don't wait that long, come and meet him. He may be adopted before the cone comes off. There should be a line up of people wanting this boy.

 An Update from the Family of Bozley 08-383 & Taylor 09-016...

Last summer we had the good fortune to learn about Ragom from a friend of ours. Our family was ready for another dog. Our 11 year old son wanted a big dog that would play catch and we wanted a rescued dog. That lead us to Bozley 08-383. He is a wonderful dog and we love him so much. We knew right away that one would not be enough, so six months later we adopted Taylor (09-016). We could not be happier! They are almost exactly one year apart in age. Right now, Bozley seems to have the edge when it comes to the many daily wrestling matches, but my money’s on Taylor once she is full grown. Either way, they are both sweet, loving, loved, healthy and happy. Attached are a few photos showing another fun game….chase around the shed.

A heartfelt, thank you, thank you, thank you….that’s all we can say.

Update from Bozley's forever family:

Hi,

The cone is off! All of us are relieved. We went to the vet on Thursday and got him all fixed up. Unfortunately, he had some ear infections (not surprising given the heat build-up around his face with that cone). Our Lhaso had chronic ear infections so we know what to do and will have him right as rain within the next two weeks. All else looks great.

We are all settling into a routine. I have the morning walk (around the lake, up the parkway and home), Stanley takes him through the park between 3-4 and we trade off on the final walk through the park before bed. He does pretty well on the leash but definitely needs some obedience training. Classes start next week.

Attached are a few photos. Yesterday we went to the park to see if he would like the water. He walked around a bit, but was nervous about going in over his head. Stanley found a hockey rink where we can take off the leash and throw the tennis ball. He's not super keen on the tennis ball, but he will run after Stanley where ever he goes. He also got a nice bath after the park. He didn't love it, but he was extremely tolerant. A good brushing and he looks fabulous.

We just want to thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for all the work you and your family do to help these animals. They are a gift, they enrich our lives and we are so fortunate to have Bozley. The stars must have been aligned....

That's it for now. We'll keep in touch.

Warmest regards,

Chris
