Webster’s past doesn’t slow him down, he loves to burn off his energy with playing, walks, and runs. Adopt Webster Lab Cross 2 yrs old Male Rescue Story: When I was rescued I was living as a stray dog. About Me: Hi, Im Webster! I have been through quite a bit and people werent sure if I was going to make it, but I am a survivor! And Ive come out a very happy, healthy guy. Once introduced properly, I get a long great with other dogs - playing with my canine foster sister is one of my favourite things to do. Im crate-trained and house-trained and my foster home has been doing great work with me on learning basic commands and leash training. I really love people and although Im high energy and need a good walk, Im also happy to then settle down and hang out with you wherever you are. Ive recently been introduced to how great cuddling is and Im now becoming quite a cuddler. If youre looking for an awesome addition to your family, I could be the right guy for you! Weight at Rescue: 53 lbs Behaviour Notes: Energy: High Children: Unknown Dogs: Great (with proper introduction) Cats: No (too excited and may play rough) Health Notes: On September 9, 2014, a hart field volunteer called about a dog in the community who, while tied up, was attacked. Emergency transport arrangements were made for Webster to come into one of our veterinary partners. Surgery was immediate to close the wounds on his legs, but he needed to be transported to an emergency veterinarian for the night to monitor his collapsed lung and muscle damage to his chest. Not only was Webster bitten repeatedly but likely severely shaken during the attack. Webster faced a fairly long recovery that included the re-inflation of his lung, surgical drains from his chest and legs, the healing of the small tear in his trachea, antibiotics, pain control and lots of love and support from his vet team and his foster family. For obvious reasons, Webster needed to keep quiet and calm during his initial recovery, but that proved difficult for him as he just wanted to explore this new life. In late October, Webster saw his vet and small lumps were found on both his leg and his chest. Due to the amount of damage he received in those locations, it is fairly normal to see some lumps in the way of scar tissue. The samples were studied and did show some abnormal cells but they are not considered cancerous so are being monitored. Websters adoptive parents need to be aware of these lumps and be prepared to accept the responsibility for further monitoring and financial implications should they develop into anything further. humaneanimalrescueteam.ca/adopt/webster.aspx
