Bumper was rescued from a local pound. When we picked him up he was in terrible shape! Covered in waste, and his eyes were pretty much crusted shut. Bumper was very shy, didn't want to be handled at all... It was clear that he had been abused, since he reacted with fear. Poor little guy!

His foster home is providing loving care to help him learn to trust again.

Foster Home Feedback

September 28th: Bumper has been enjoying the nice sunny days laying out on the deck. Now that it is not overly warm in the sun, he has been really enjoying lounging around. I bet he is thinking about what he should be for Halloween...only a month away you know?! Or maybe he was daydreaming about his forever home...won't you fulfill his dreams?

July 25th - Bumper has gotten his haircut and looks SO handsome! He is the dude! Bumper has been more relaxed in his new foster home and likes to join in welcoming me home. He follows the other dogs to help him know where to go but once in awhile he spooks because he did not realize we were there. He likes to lay under a coffee table or other furniture. His last check up was good and he is doing well. We just make sure to limit treats and have plenty of activity.

April 16th - Bumper has been a good little guy for us and he is a handsome little guy! He just had his spring hair cut and is all set to impress the ladies.

October 16th - Bumper had a photo shoot yesterday, he is so handsome! He is truly an amazing little guy. Bumper's transformation from when we first picked him up in September has been incredible. My goal at that time was not only to get he healthy, but to make his tail wag. His tail wags like crazy now! Bumper is such a strong little fighter, and he is so appreciative for his second chance at life. He would like to thank 4 Luv of Dog and the West Fargo Animal Hospital for everything that has been provided to him. Bumper is truly a new dog!

October 9th -Quick update on Bumper. He is doing so much better. He doesn't look as sick as he did when we first got him. Bumper's coat is coming in so well, he had a few balled spots and some irritation before from malnutrition. He is getting shinier all the time! Bumper is going to be a Lobster for Halloween, he makes a great Lobster.
He is doing so well. Bumper is going up and down our stairs now just fine. He gets up and down off our furniture too! Last night he chased a fly around the house and finally got him, he was so proud. I think his eyes might be getting a little better... he is able to see shadows a lot better and he has learned to make use of his senses to get around. He is such a good boy and his confidence has skyrocketed!

September 13th - When I picked Bumper up from the pound, he was in terrible shape! Covered in waste, and his eyes were pretty much crusted shut. Bumper was very shy, didn't want to be handled at all... It was clear that he had been abused, since he reacted with fear. Poor little guy!

I brought Bumper home and bathed him... given his lack of trust I wasn't sure how he would react to a bath, but he actually really enjoyed it!!! I washed out Bumper's eyes and put antibiotic ointment on them and he ran around like a puppy to dry off. I think he was really happy to have some sight back!
