Magellan

SPONSOR ME!

Hello, my name is Magellan, and I am an 11-year old, male, Tricolor Beagle with a heart of gold.  I was rescued from a regional shelter where I ended up after what everyone thinks must have been a very long journey.  I was extremely thin, tired, and looked like "something the cat dragged in."  The rescue folks are pretty sure that I was someone's outdoor hunting dog, and that I did not receive regular medical care or adequate nutrition throughout my life.

I'm in a loving CDR foster home now, and it's like I'm in heaven.  I am fed nutritious food every day (plenty of it!), have wonderful soft beds to rest and sleep on, get loads of love and hugs and snuggles and attention, and have a fenced yard in which to wander around.

I am feeling loads better.  Unfortunately, I have lung disease, which makes me cough a lot and sometimes it is difficult for me to get comfortable even on the plushest dog beds you have ever seen!  I take medications everyday to make my chest feel better, to help my aging joints, and to help me get a good nights sleep.  I am so appreciative for the care, but I hear my foster mom talk about how expensive it is, but she can't imagine a more deserving dog than I.

I am currently not neutered because the doctor says it is too risky to put me under anesthesia, but I am good boy and do all my marking outside.  You know what else is incredibly great about my current life?  I never have to be on a chain again!  I get to roam around a big fenced yard and smell bunny trails to my heart's content!

Since I am still underweight, I get to have all the treats a Beagle could want, and I even get to sleep on the couch!  The other day, I went for a short walk at the lake and really enjoyed wading in the water and laying on the dock in the sun and then taking a nap in the bushes!!  (Isn't that a cute photo of me poking my head out of the bushes after my nap?) I could not ask for a better way to retire.

I hope that I get well enough to someday be adopted, but if that doesn't happen, CDR and my foster mom have promised that I can live out my days in my foster home.  I'm so thankful.

Though I'm a little guy, I'm a pretty expensive little guy, and the rescue folks would be so appreciative if you could sponsor me and help with my care.  $30 would buy some nutritious food and treats for me, $50 would cover some of my medications, and $100 would be used toward my bill at the vet for x-rays and blood work.  If you can sponsor me at a $50 or higher level, my foster mom will be delighted to send you a  monthly update on how I'm doing!  You can sponsor me by sending a check made out to Cayuga Dog Rescue (write in the note section of your check that it's for me!) to:

Thank you so much for your generosity and caring. It does a boy good!

Sending snuggles to you,

Magellan
