On Wednesday, we found out about 2 female littermates, Jerzy and Cali, who needed new homes as soon as possible. Someone had purchased both bullies to breed but ended up having to leave the country after breeding Jerzy one time. A caring family had offered to take Cali initially but weren’t given Jerzy until after she birthed her first litter. Four of the eight puppies didn’t make it. When Jerzy wasn’t acting as they expected a mom to act, they beat her. As soon as the neighbor family found out how they were treating Jerzy, they took her in. They quickly realized that Jerzy is deaf. Things were going good but their landlord found out they had the bull terriers and told them that either they find new homes for the dogs or new homes for themselves. We made a post looking for someone to go evaluate the girls. Sarah Burton offered and she and her daughter Aspen went to evaluate both bullies on Thursday night. On her way home, Sarah called and offered to foster Jerzy. Jerzy needs medical attention as she has not had any vetting since having her litter and also appears to have ear and skin infections. Last night Sarah and Aspen went and got Jerzy and brought her home. We will make sure all her medical needs are addressed and learn more about her over the next several weeks. Jerzy has been settling in and is already learning cues that are key in working with her deafness.
Special thanks to the family who made sure that Jerzy and Cali were safe and loved and Aspen and Sarah Burton for evaluating both girls and bringing Jerzy home.
