Some of you may remember the story of how Kudzu came to be a member of the Love Shack Pack, but for those of you don't...
In May - a month after bringing Boondocks home - we received an email telling us about a four month old Golden Retriever whose leg had been amputated after his prior owner left him unattended for days and he'd become entangled in a hammock. The owner didn't want the expense or burden of a "disabled dog" and surrendered him. The wonderful staff at Crystal Springs Animal Hospital raised the money for his medical costs and then re-homed him with us.
Kudzu has a couple of quirks to work out and as soon as we do, he'll test for his CGC and do his therapy dog test. He has a great personality - so full of love. He greets everyone with a hug that can melt the coldest of hearts.
Kudzu turned "one" Sunday, January 15. We couldn't be more thrilled to have him as part of our family.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KUDZU!!
