Doberman Rescue Minnesota has Mordecai! He's a 16 week old male pup-super smart, great temperament, almost potty trained, crate trained, sweet little man, makes up for his disabilities! Breeder was going to euthanize as there was no money to care for him-we took him to the University of Minnesota Vet Center to get honest opinion on our options-The Docs at the U said we should give him a chance! So he is now with us and completely a joy to have in foster care! Mordy had a dislocated elbow that did not get placed back properly by the breeder, in fact breeder did not even notice it (!) until after Mordy was "sold", this will need to be addressed in the future and DRM is committed 100%.
Mordy also has congenital megaesophogus, which we are hoping he out grows one day-the vets are hopeful too! Mordy is super playful and acts like any other pup, he is just a little different as he eats in a high chair! We are also seeking donations to help defray his vet care as he grows. Mordy is currently eating Honest Kitchen-Embark, (we will take any donations for his food!) and we are looking at surgery for the future, the University estimates the cost to fix his leg at $3500. Please help us help Mordy! We are committed to helping him. If you are interested in adopting or helping us support Mordy with food or medical expenses please let us know!

Poor Mordy. So glad he is being taken care of and hoping there is a special person out there that will adopt him! Thanks for joining the blog hop!
ReplyDeleteI think that, for every dog, there is a home out there. They just need to get matched up!
DeletePoor guy, but thankfully he has been rescued and they are committed to his care. What a great story!
ReplyDeleteThe DRM folks all just seem so wonderful! Any dog in their care has really really lucked out.
DeleteWhat a sweet face! Thank goodness that he's been given a chance. We're sure someone is going to fall in love with him!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope they do! I think it's kind of impossible not to, really.
DeleteWhat a cutie - so glad he gets a chance...the breeder didn't monitor his status terribly well :(.
ReplyDeleteNo, the breeder didn't :( Apparently (so the backstory goes) the actual breeder passed away, and her son is taking the reins. I do hope he gets his act together, for the dogs' sake.
DeleteOH my gosh he is adorable! I will share in hopes someone steps up and adopts him!
ReplyDeleteWags
I hope somebody adopts him too! He's got a whole great life to lead.
DeleteI grabbed your badge and put it on my website under favorite blogs! Hope you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteNope, I don't mind being called a favorite ;) Thanks!
DeleteAwe poor sweetie pie! That is so awesome that you guys decided to take him in, and foster! You guys should try opening a Gofundme account to raise money for Mordy! I hear it works!
ReplyDeleteI'm not the one fostering him (though I'd love to squish his little face!) He's in the care of Doberman Rescue Minnesota. I have heard things about Gofundme too, though.
