Adopt Tommy

Unknown · Senior · 14 years

We were very touched when we heard the sad story of Tommy: his hot beloved wife died when he was about 14 years old. He couldn't do so well with his master. He didn't come out often enough and was no longer stubborn. So he was banished in the shed. He was able to use the garden from there, but by the time was the nice time when you were lying comfortably in the living room in the evening. A neighbor took him when she walked with her dogs, took the veterinarian visits and gave him the donation that he so lacked after his wife's death. Unfortunately, the neighbor family had to move. And so we learned about Tommy's situation and have Tommy is such a Herzi, always nice, friendly with other dogs, so gladly walks, doesn't migrate with the food, so a completely smooth, loving little guy. Almost – because Tommy has a heart failure due to age, but it was easy to handle with medicines. Now he only lacks the love of a person who further strengthens his little heart. He should not move into a turbulent household as a result of age.

Wir waren sehr gerührt, als wir die traurige Geschichte von Tommy hörten: sein heiß geliebtes Frauchen verstarb, als er ca 14 Jahre alt war. Mit seinem Herrchen konnte er es nicht ganz so gut. Er kam nicht oft genug raus und war dadurch nicht mehr stubenrein. Also wurde er in den Schuppen verbannt. Er konnte zwar von dort den Garten benutzen, aber vorbei war die schöne Zeit, wo man abends gemütlich mit im Wohnzimmer lag, eingemummelt in eine Decke im Körbchen. Eine Nachbarin nahm ihn mit, wenn sie mit ihren Hunden spazieren ging, erledigte die Tierarztbesuche und gab ihm die Zuwendung, die ihm nach dem Tode seines Frauchens so fehlte. Leider musste die Nachbarfamilie umziehen. Und so erfuhren wir von Tommys Situation und haben Tommy ist so ein Herzi, immer gut gelaunt, freundlich mit anderen Hunden, geht so gerne spazieren, mäkelt nicht mit dem Futter, also ein völlig problemloser, liebevoller kleiner Kerl. Fast – denn Tommy hat altersbedingt eine Herzinsuffizienz, die aber mit Medikamenten gut in den Griff zu bekommen war. Nun fehlt ihm nur noch die Liebe eines Menschen, die sein kleines Herz noch weiter stärkt. Altersbedingt sollte er in keinen turbulenten Haushalt ziehen, er ist halt ein rüstiger Rentner.
