May Day! May Day! Pierce Bronson Needs Your Help!

This afternoon, I returned Dr. Jim Jensen’s phone call. He is a fabulous, caring veterinarian, in the San Antonio area, and was hoping that we could help out this wonderful dog, who deserves a great home. Unfortunately, we are at capacity right now, but I offered to post his daughter’s picture of Pierce Bronson, along with his story. If anyone wants to adopt this fine fellow, please contact Lacy and call me. Our rescue ranch will help with Pierce’s travel expenses. Lacy wrote:

“My father, Dr. Jim Jensen, spoke to you earlier today regarding a sweet stray dog that we are trying to find a home for. I have included some information about him below, and I would be happy to answer any questions that you might have about him. Thank you so much for being willing to post his information for us. Sincerely, Lacey M.

Sweet Chow mix in need of a great home! Pierce Bronson is a black male Chow mix, that is middle-aged and weighs approx. 35 lbs. He was found by a good samaritan wandering the streets with an entire face full of porcupine quills! He was in terrible pain and was unable to eat or even close his mouth. Pierce was brought to my father, who is a vet, and was given emergency surgery to remove over 100 quills from his face and paws. In addition to that, he was very skinny and his coat was matted and full of burrs and stickers. He had to be almost completely shaved when he was groomed, so he is having a bit of a bad hair day right now! When his hair grows back he will look like an adorable black teddy bear.

Pierce has recovered well, and is so grateful for the care that he has received. He is a loving dog and he will make a great companion pet. He walks well on a leash and enjoys attention, but is just as happy to sit by your feet and hang out. Pierce is currently living at the clinic that my father works at and needs to find a new home as soon as possible.

He is neutered and gets along well with most dogs. Pierce also seems to do well with children of all ages. He is not great with cats as best we can tell, and therefore should go to a family without cats. Pierce tested positive for heartworms, but the clinic has agreed to treat him for free and he is happy and healthy in every other way. He tested negative for all other parasites and has been given all his shots.

This poor guy has suffered some major hardship, and he really needs to go to a family that will give him the love and attention that he deserves. He is looking for an owner with a huge heart that will give him a second chance at living a great life! Please contact me at laceybb78@hotmail.com with any questions you might have. Thanks!
