Alvin - In Poet's Vision Aussie Rescue Foster Care, Canada



Name: Alvin
Sex: Male (not altered)
Breed: Aussie Mix
Age: 2 ½ months
Location: Bethel Park, PA

 
Vet/Medical Info: In January 2012 Alvin received a fecal test and a Parvo test. He did not test positive for Parvo, his sibling did so they treated Alvin also. Nothing else has been done.

Owner Info: DOB 11/13/2011. Alvin's owner runs a very small dog rescue in Bethel Park, PA. She rescued an emaciated female dog from a high kill shelter in WV. After feeding her they realized she was starting to get a belly, took her back to the vet and yes she was pregnant! Six days later she delivered (huge surprise). They have a partially blind/deaf little Aussie mix who is 11 weeks old and they are not "savvy" enough to know how to deal with this handicap. She feels he would be better off in a rescue that knows how to help him. Alvin seems to be able to see shadows and is light sensitive. He is an indoor dog with the run of the house, he is not yet housebroken. He is an outgoing puppy who likes people and children of all ages and other dogs. Alvin is a great puppy, but his owner doesn't feel she has the skill level to take care of him correctly and she's worried that the more she waits, the worse he will get. Also because she runs a rescue, there are always other dogs around, he loves everyone but some of the older dogs don't understand him and she's scared he might get hurt. They vaccinate the dogs themselves (because they are a rescue group and need to be able to vaccinate as soon as they rescue a dog). Alvin is current on his shots, he had his first one on 1/9/2012 and his second on 1/26/2012.
