Lazarus is a Sheppard cur mix born end of Sept. 2009. He is a little brindle and white male, part of a litter of 9 pups. After getting him from the shelter at 5 weeks we tried to put him with a nursing mom dog we had in rescue. She promptly showed her displeasure and Lazarus paid the price. Her snap broke his jaw in 2 places and during recovery from the surgery to repair his jaw (at a mere 5 weeks of age) he crashed. But as you can see he survived and earned the name Lazarus. Because he was nursed and cared for so closely at a young age he is the sweetest puppy and can't get enough human interaction. He does love to play and is all puppy but always comes back to the comfort of his human companions. This special little pup deserves a special family for the holidays...........could you be his forever family? All dogs/puppies available for adoption through SVPR have been vet checked, vaccinated appropriately for their age, spayed/neutered, treated for internal and external parasites, and microchipped with Home Again. Dogs over 8 months are tested for heartworm disease. If you are interested in Lazarus please e-mail Tina at tropicllc@msn.com for an application.
