Atkins and his sister came to us as little puppies found in the woods. They were typical sweet puppies. Somewhere along the way, Atkins took on a new persona. His sister got adopted but for no apparent reason, Atkins became more standoffish and no one wanted to adopt him.
First, let me say that he is very well-behaved, both in the house and outside. He does not act like a Hound (we all know what that’s like). He is calm, not noisy at all (only when strangers approach), doesn’t destroy things, doesn’t try to escape, and is very polite. He spent many years with us before finally….someone noticed him for adoption.
We were all so happy that a couple from Arizona fell in love with Atkins. It was a celebration when the old hound dog packed up and hit the road with Tia’s daughter to make the long, hot journey across the country’s desert regions. The meet n’ greet and adoption went perfect and Atkins was going to live his best life…until….we got that call.
Although months later, we got a “911” text from the wife that had us here at VRC scrambling to save Atkins. Actually there is no way for me to put this insane story into words. You need to hear it straight from me.
Until I find someone I can truly trust, Atkins will remain living with me as a sponsorship dog. And because Atkins does have some physical/medical issues, I have created a special wishlist for him. If you would like to buy Atkins some much needed supplies, here is the direct link to his Amazon Storefront: https://amzn.to/40g7mFf
