Brooklyn pup abandoned by owners needs home!

gantpants:

I found this fella today tied to a bench in Prospect Park. I was taking a jog, and stopped to get him some much needed lunch and a bath. We visited the vet (Animal Kind Veterinary Hospital, 365 7th Ave Brooklyn - they were amazing and so informative) and got him all checked out. His name is Bentley according to his microchip.

He is very friendly and well-behaved, though he needs a little help on the leash. Part of that is probably that he’s only about two years old (vet estimate). We got his shots, some antibiotics for the wear and tear that comes from living on a bench for a few days, and some dog food to get him fattened up. His collar was traded in for a harness (way easier to walk).

He weighs 52.6 lbs, and he’ll get bigger as he eats properly. Right now he’s napping on his new bed, and he’s so freaking cute and wonderful. 

But I can’t have a dog right now. As much as I would love to keep him it wouldn’t be fair to him, and it would be irresponsible of me considering my current employment situation (recently fired, not quite freelancing). I’ve contacted Shawn Casey of animal rescue but they are currently full. If any one wants this friendly guy please let me know. You can email me at gantpowell@gmail.com. I will answer any questions you might have. Until then, we’re going to bop along and probably go on some jogs together. Also I’m going to fatten him up properly.

It’s been a long day for me, and a terrible week for Bentley. I hope he gets really healthy and happy. I don’t know about fate, but I think this was supposed to happen today.

Edit: I want to address a concern about some information I didn’t include concerning Bentley’s microchip. I didn’t mention that yes, his owners were registered along with their address and phone number. I worked with the vet to contact them and unfortunately, after repeat attempts, we haven’t had a response sine Monday. The more I get to know Bentley’s personality and his likes and dislikes, it’s plain to see that his old life may not have been as loving as we would like. I have followed up with 311 to make sure I am not stealing someone’s beloved pet, but considering the state I found him in, and the lack of response from his registered owners, they explained that he is now my responsibility. I hope that this is for the better. He has been very happy and playful today, and has even taken naps and played with his chew toys. He wasn’t doing any of that yesterday. He is still having some anxiety issues but the arrival of a crate has given him some security and a safe space to himself, which I think he definitely deserves. Tomorrow is another big day, and we will start meeting some prospective pet owners! Yay Bentley!

Bwahahaha. Best ad ever.

Need.  (Have no idea where, how this exists.)

Thrilled to be on such a thoughtful podcast. 

Cricket, my new adopted chi, is going viral on fuckyeahsmilingdogs! 

My heart cannot take much more. If she isn’t found, I will have to be checked into a place where I can just sit in the sun on a lawn in a wheelchair. No more emotions or energy left for real life. Please share, like, help. <3

Going to Iceland tomorrow! There are 13 Santas in Iceland that at one time ate bad children, but now just leave potatoes in their shoes. 

The Yule-lads

In Iceland, we have 13 Santas. I’m not making this up. They are called the Yule-lads or Yulemen. They are half-troll and half-human. Each one is named after their appearance or skill. Their skills are mainly just pranks or petty crimes. They’re harmless now but in the olden days they used to eat children.

This is my current foster pup Chester. I’m trying to figure out how I can show how fast he is growing! I’ll keep adding layers, hopefully this will work eventually! 

Forcible haircut.
