Bronson The Boston Terrier Will Die On Saturday If Not Saved

I apologize for the blunt headline but this is an emergency. This was just forwarded to me and we got this post up immediately. We have a lot of information and not much of a timeline so I’m going to take everything we have and put it into a timeline for you below. I am asking you to please spread the word and help this dog live a long and happy life. Let’s show the world how amazing Boston Terrier Nation can be!

UPDATE: He has been saved! An amazing organization, Boston Buddies, has stepped up and saved his life. Here is their Facebook post (see below for all details):

The first bit of information comes to us from the Wonder Dog Rescue website: http://wonderdogrescue.org/node/1958

Can anybody open their hearts and homes to Bronson the Boston? He is 6 years old and suffers from a number of deformed vertebrae in his back, these are called butterfly vertebrae and they are a genetic problem in the boston breed. Since they are abnormally shaped they are not as stable as regular vertebrae, and they can shift and ride up and pinch the spinal cord and spinal nerves.

He will often fall over if he gets too excited and running and jumping are just a bad idea. He would be a good candidate for a doggie wheelchair.

He is a super sweet little guy that we at the shelter are all in love with. How can you not love that face! However our darling boy is not all that great with other dogs. He is best as an only child.

Please contact us if you would consider taking on this little guy and giving him a loving home for the rest of his days.

Bronson is with the Humane Society for Inland Mendocino County. He has a hereditary issue that the vet says is butterfly vertebrae which means he could need surgery. They really love the little guy and wondered if Wonder Dog can help. Bronson is good with BIG DOGS but not small, and we dont have a foster home for him…. if you can help PLEASE contact Lisa (who is with the shelter) at 707-367-1874 or email us with any questions.

Many thanks!
