Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

this is Champion! he's a rescue and his face has since healed a bit more from his encounter with demodex mange. he was found on the side of the road in pain and unable to see, and had to go through treatment for most of his time as a puppy.

he has behavioral issues, like resource guarding, and has arthritis already (diagnosed when he was a year old) plus anxiety, but Champ is on medication and doing great! I'll be taking him in to get injection treatment for his arthritis soon too.

I'm just really proud of my little guy (he's thirty pounds) and where he's at, and wanted to show him off. he's my first dog that wasn't a family dog, too.

maybe soon I'll post his brother.

He is perfect and I love him. Give him a boop for me.

Our cat gets arthritis injections, and it helps her so much! I hope Champ gets as much relief from them as she does.

thank you so much! yeah it'll be his first time, but I'm committed to making sure he gets the best treatment I can give him. the vet said his bone is growing in a way to try to compensate for the arthritis (which started from a luxating patella) already, so I'm hopeful this will at least make things easier on him and his body.
