​💙 I'm Adopted!!!! 💙

This poor sweet baby was found on the side of the road eating roadkill carcasses just trying to survive. He is in bad shape and will get to the vet ASAP.​ A huge thank you to Stephanie for stopping to save him , and not just driving on by like so many people did.
She said he was such a good boy for a bath and nail trim. He is very skinny, has a mouth full of infected teeth, and can barely walk with his crippled little legs. But he’s so thankful to be safe and loved.

Also a huge thank you to Luke and Sugar’s dad who rescued me as I was rescuing this kid. My car got a flat tire earlier today when I was taking Sugar to her new home. So I took Jen’s Jeep and we were only 10 min away when it broke down and left me stranded on the side of the road. 😭 The universe was telling me to stay home but I couldn’t say no to this poor guy. Just look at him ❤️❤️❤️❤️

(Note: A lost dog report has been filed by the finder. If this is your dog you will need to provide proof of ownership and proper care in the form of photos and vet records.)
Picture
His first meal is Answers Pet Food raw dairy. It's the most easily digestible substance for the body. He will need and get several small meals a day at first.

He got up there himself. It wasn’t graceful but he was determined.
Update 4/20/20:
​📌 
My Vet visit today:
📌 I weigh 39.9 pounds
📌 I’m probably about 6 years old
📌 I was dewormed since I was found eating rotting dead animals on the side of the road
📌 I have a couple loose and rotting teeth that will need to come out
📌 I need to be neutered once I’m healthy
📌 Bloodwork was sent out , will also test heartworm and tick born disease
📌 Fecal test to be sent out to see what parasites I’ve picked up
📌 My patellas are permanently dislocated , but hopefully some weight gain and muscle mass will help, along with lots of joint            support supplements. (Wish list coming soon).
📌 Minor ear infection. Old ear hematoma that isn’t fixable.
📌 Minor dry eye
📌 I’m the goodest boi that ever lived
Picture
Apparently I can go up.... but not down. HELP!
Picture
Per several requests .... I now have a wishy list. Link buttons are at the top and bottom of the page... fanks!!
Picture
Woof Puffs sent me some snackos!!! Thank you!!!!! Yum!! I wanna eat the whole bag but blonde lady says that’s a hard no
🚨 graphic 💩 🐛content 🚨
Good morning new frens!! Da dewormer I got at da dogtor yesterday did da trick .... begone ya parasites. 💩
I started another dewormer today too because I gots lots of worm problemos.... roundworm hookworm aaaand giardia. 🥴 🐛 🤮
*** Remember parasites are not seen by the naked eye in fecal matter unless it’s a severe infestation. These did not start coming out until the meds killed them and they detached and were passed. It’s imperative to do a fecal test during your pets annual wellness and to do one as soon as you take in a new pet. Picking up your dogs feces immediately after they go is the best way to prevent spread of parasites. #doyourdoody #pickupthepoop
(all da grass is because blonde lady immediately digs up da dirt under where I poop so i don’t contaminates her yard).

Breakfast of Champions ❤️
Pretty sure he could get used to this 💜
City Dogs Grocery can put together curbside birthday baskets for your pup so you can celebrate during quarantine. How cool is that? Well, we asked if they could put together a “rebirth” day basket for Mr Wilson..... and they did not disappoint.
​Happy Birthday Mr Wilson. Welcome to your new life. 
💙

How about breakyfast in bed? -Wilson

Good morning frens!!

Only 50° but sunshiney and beautiful. AKA perfect bulldog weather.

Alumni Penny got a new Bessie + Barnie bed today and it made us miss the famous mumpee bed of 2011... 2012? I duno. It was forever ago . Our friend DinaMarie won it in a raffle from Carolina Pet Pantry to benefit Bullies 2 The Rescue... Can you believe we still have it?? It’s a bit lumpy now but what other bed lasts almost a decade? We had put it up after Champy passed but Mr Wilson is loving it’s reappearance.
Picture
Sound asleep ❤️

No longer asleep
First time nugs... 💯 /10

Five more minutes. Unless you have food?

We had lots of plans this weekend. Probably won’t do any of it.

Lucy wasn't feeling well so Mr. Wilson comforted her the best he could.
Picture
Whattaya mean times up?!? I just got out here! Keep your bulls cool folks! It suddenly just became summer in Indiana!

I'm at Bargersville Vet today for some lab work. If my labs look good, I'll be ready for neuter on Tuesday!! □
Picture
It’s fine. I’ll just paint around you. It’s fine. Everything’s fine.

When the sound of dinner wakes you up from a dead sleep #LazySundays
​Mr. Wilson is getting a bath today because tomorrow is the big neuter day. He’s also getting a dental cleaning. I know we all love that fang, but we need to be prepared for it’s likely removal. It is rotted something awful. He’ll feel much better after tomorrow.
(And yes that’s a little parsley still stuck to his teeth from breakfast).

​6/2/2020 Out of Surgery Update:

​You should see da other guy!! Just Kidding! I had 11 teef extracted today! Yea ELEVEN! I’m kinda ouchie now (well I just had more pain meds and a light soft dinner so I’m good), but yea I’m gonna feel sooooo much better soon. I can’t wait to be able to really chew up a Benebone in a few weeks and don’t worry da bleeding has already stopped too. I’m snuggled up in bed and I’m gonna sleep dis shiz off. Vin said he’d be my nurse while I'm recovering.
Picture
Name something you don’t miss from pre-quarantine .... bathroom lines!!!
Picture
Ignores me when I say come inside, 5 minutes later a monsoon comes. Now fissed he’s wet □‍♀️
Picture
Anyone else go back to work this week? Anyone else’s dog look at them like this? Luckily it’s only for a few hours. ❤️
Picture
Excuse me Wilson, you’re sleeping in my bathroom.
Picture
I don’t remember having dinner. Maybe you should feed me again to be safe.
Picture
Can you show me what you’re eating so I know if it’s worth the effort to come down stairs and beg? Thanks
Picture
Thanks Max and Neo for the donation box! I call dibs on the pee pads and fish oil!!
Picture
That’s it? Are you sure you sure you didn’t give me a Frenchie size breakfast?
Picture
Update 6/24/20:
Mr Wilson had a recheck today and he's up to 47 pounds! He has one tooth hole where a canine was extracted that collects food and hair now. I just flush it daily and after meals and it's ok... it's manageable. But we’ll probably put him under again to correct it so his future family doesn’t have to worry about it. Other than that he’s doing great. He'll be ready for adoption soon so we are starting to review apps. If you’re interested please click here to fill out an adoption application.
Mr Wilson is approximately 6 years old. Obviously he would do better without stairs as he has permanent damage to his hind legs. That doesn’t stop him from figuring out how to get around tho. He will needs joint supplements and pain meds for those legs, and eye drops for his eyes (senior bulldog dry eye)... but he’s otherwise a pretty healthy boy. Gets along great with other dogs. Cats are a work in progress but our cats have had enough of him so they avoid him lol.
Picture
Came home from work and found this guy cuddling Lucy for the second day in a row… He discovered the ramp to get on the bed.
Picture
Had dinner. Got right back into bed. □
Picture
My snuggle buddies. What’s everyone binge watching on Netflix right now? □
Picture
Picture
Uhhhh.... boost please?
Picture
I’ve been sleeping all day, but now that you’re about to start a zoom meeting, I think I’ll wake up and bark.
Picture
My new phone charger holder. He’s unimpressed (Altho he actually did it himself somehow)
Picture
Happy Tongue Out Tuesday ! □
Can I get a boost please...........
​When you get to be as old as dirt, you don’t make plans.... but Lucy’s still here & kickin so Mr Wilson is takin a chance she’s got some spunk for a dance or two. Or maybe just sit out & watch the youngsters make fools of themselves for the TickityTok. The Pawty Crew hosts an annual Instagram prom. Each year it benefits a different rescue.... this year donations were raised for Lonestar Bulldog Rescue. Here are some of our HBR dogs joining in the fun!
Picture
Lookin good sir Up 10 whole pounds since May. He’s at a perfect weight right now. Any more would be too hard on those joints.
Picture
These two. I can’t even □ Don’t forget our auction starts tomorrow!!
Picture
Felt cute. Might delete later. IDK. □□‍♂️ -Mr Wilson
Picture
I spoke to my new mum yesterday. She said she loves me unconditionally. So dat means stinky too. This bath is totally unnecessary.
Picture
Congrats Mr Wilson!!! You picked an amazing momma. I’m going to miss you beyond belief (I may still be crying in the parking lot) but you’ve found the best family and you’ll have so much attention and love. I couldn’t be happier for you. I can’t wait to see you thriving in your new home. ❤️
Picture
In case anyone was wondering how my first night in my new home went..... it was perfect.

💙 I'm Adopted!!!! 💙
