Dudley finds a home

This is Dudley, he is a Bug, Boston Terrier/Pug. Dudley had a rough start but is a real trooper and just wants attention and to be loved. I found Dudley on Craigslist, I was looking for a Boston to be a campanion for the one I already had. I knew Dudley was not what I was looking for but I could not resist him. Dudley had been found near death at 3 months old outside in a crate with no food or water in the summer heat while his family was on vacation. A neighbor heard
him whining and called animal rescue from there he was adopted to a very sweet young lady who unfortunately discoverd she was allergic to him.

After I adopted Dudley one of my contacts came through with a Boston Terrier so now I had two dogs and could only keep one. My husband had paid for me a female Boston so I had the sad task of finding Dudley another home but I knew it had to be a good home, a forever home, we were already in love with him and was not going to give hime to just anybody. I found a family that practically begged me for Dudley so I was super excited, they were friends of a friend. I was told he would have lots of room to run and play which was very important as Dudly had lived most of his life in a crate until coming to my house. To make a long story short he was returned back to me in a month IN A CRATE. I was very upset to learn he had once again landed in a crate for his home and was glad to take him back. We had one more idea, my next door neighbor's beloved little dog had just died and she was feeling really down so I thought Dudley would be perfect and it would not be like we had lost him this time he could come over and vist us anytime. It worked out better than hoped for Dudley and my two Bostons are the three stooges in dog suites and they cannot wait to go outside and play together. Dudley visits us everyday and comes in our house for a treat and helps himself to dog food and water. Dudley not only got one family and a forever home but he has two families that adore him and he is a very happy little dog.
