Sidney is a lovely black and tan long haired boy. He’s about 8 years old and was rescued from a local shelter after being found as a stray.  He was very skinny, covered in fleas and had been bitten by fire ants. What a mess this boy was, but he's much improved now & on the road to recovery.   He had surgery for “cherry eye” the week of March 9th and will soon undergo surgery for cataracts.   He has no hesitance in going up and down the stairs and has learned to use doggie steps for the sofa and the bed.   The good news is he is heartworm negative and house trained. He interacts wonderfully with his foster brothers and he loves to snuggle and give kisses.  So much so that he's earned the nickname “Mr. Smoochie Man”.  He is a fantastic Doxie and deserves the chance to improve his vision and find his forever home. 

Update: June 17, 2009 - Sweet Sidney had his cataract surgery on June 11th and is doing great! His recovery includes lots of eye drops and meds but he is being a trooper about it. His biggest complaint would be the E collar he has to wear for about a month to protect his eyes. The morning after his surgery he got a look at his foster Mom and brothers for the first time and everyone knew he could see. Thanks Dr. Hermann!
