Arrival Story:
Baxter was born in an abandoned building in Puerto Rico. He was one of 8 pups brought to Connecticut with their mom for a chance at a better life. After being adopted out, he was returned to the shelter several months later, severely malnourished and with a massive infection that affected his nervous system. As a result, he had a noticeable "shake" when he was standing or lying down, and was labeled "Special Needs". It has taken more than two years, but today Baxter has blossomed into a healthy, happy dog, and you would hardly notice his "shake" at all! He loves to be out and about, and spends many weekends riding aboard Fire Engines, participating in community service events and parades. He shares his home with his sister, MacKenzie and three ferrets!

Bio:
Sato is a slang term for "Street Dog" in Puerto Rico. Baxter is a terrier/whippet mix, but is affectionately known as a Sato - visit www.saveasato.org for information on the plight of these animals.

Working like a dog!

We have had a great summer, I have met a lot of great people that have helped me on my journey as a "disabled" dog, and everyone has been so wonderful!

My "team" includes Dr. S and the wonderful techs at Woburn Animal Hospital, I go visit them once a week for acupuncture, and a few handfuls of cookies. I love them, even though they poke me with needles! Lois and Mary at Good Dog Aquatics take me for a swim every week, and make me walk over all sorts of crazy things, and make me balance on crazy balls and stuff. I get them back though, when I am in the pool I make sure to wag my tail the whole time, and splash anyone within 10 feet of the pool! Dr. Z still checks up on me and Mom and makes sure all my meds are working properly. Dr. T at Mass Vet Referral checks on my insides, via MRI and brain scans, you should see how perfect I look inside! The wonderful team at Eddie's Wheels have my cart fitted and working perfectly, and now I can run! They even invited us to their picnic, where I got to race around with other cart dogs!

You would think this would be enough for anydog, but no, not with my Mom. She went out and bought a pool, and my pal Lois gave her instructions on how to do my hydro therapy exercises at home. She made new agility equipment for me just like they have at physical therapy, and now I have to "work out" every single day! We rotate what we do in the yard so each day is different, but it is hard work for sure! My reward for all this hard work is free cart time, where I get to zoom around with no leash! I can go super fast without my leash on, and love my free play time the most.

Along our walks we get stopped quite a bit, I guess most people have never seen a dog in a cart before, and so I get lots of pats and attention, which makes me very happy! I am back to my old self again with the help of my cart, and that has made this my bestest summer ever!


POTP for our friend Romeo

Our new friend Romeo needs some POTP - he was minding his own business playing ball with his Mom when he tore some ligaments in his knee.

Can you stop by Romeo's page and show him some love ?!!?!! He is only 2 years old and had a very rough start in life and can use some Dogster love right now.

Love you my pals!
