Houdini
American Bulldog / Mixed • Male • Young • Large
Houdini certainly lives up to his name! He escaped a life of misery! Houdini was seen wandering around a neighborhood for about a week. He was starving and emaciated. Finally one day he was so hungry he came up onto a porch and just lay down. He couldn't go anymore. Houdini had a vicious bite on his left front leg that looked either severely infected or broken. Being a very small town, they didn't have any form of animal control. The police transported him to the police station to wait to be transported to the nearest Animal Control facility. The lady who first found Houdini just couldn't stand to see Houdini go to animal control because she knew that he would be put down. She rescued Houdini and took him to the vet. The bite on the leg had broken the bone and it had gone without care for so long that the ends of the bone had began to deteriorate. Sadly, Houdini's leg had to be amputated. But the good news is that after a couple of weeks of recuperation, Houdini gets along as well as any other four legged dog!!! You just cannot keep a good dog down - and Houdini is proof of that! He is a happy, healthy and the most loving dog. His face with his forever smile is one that you will never forget. He is happiest right beside his human whether it is outside or lying on the couch. Houdini is almost a year old and we believe he is an American Bulldog. He is completely housetrained and keeps a very clean room. Houdini has never gotten into mischief when he is left alone. He is the perfect gentleman. He loves to sleep on a padded bed or even hang out in his crate especially if there is a soft blanket for him. He is heartworm negative and up to date on his vaccinations, neutered and micro-chipped. If you are interested in adopting Houdini, please contact Pat at barkwood@swbell.net or 713-861-1155
