Midnight: On the mend!

Midnight, a 5 year old black lab, came to us with a torn ACL and in need of surgery. His fabulous foster family has been nursing him through his recovery from surgery since the end of 2008. He has not been able to attend our adoption event yet because slipping on the smooth store floor could compromise his recovery. So he is hanging out with his foster fam, soaking up the love. He enjoys the other dogs, cats and kids in his foster home. He's an easy dog and is very well-behaved.

Here's an update from his foster mom:

Midnight is happy go lucky and more content every day. He is adapting to the "pack" and falls right in line with them. He is walking about 50% better than when I first got him. He thinks he is cat sized and it's so funny to watch him trying to be a lap dog. Loves to get and give plenty of attention. He gets along with all 3 dogs and both cats. His sweet personality has won over the whole family! :)

Sarah, of Sarah Beth Photography, took a special trip out to Midnight's foster home to include him in our black dog photo shoots. Thanks for making a special trip, Sarah!

Since Midnight can't attend the adoption events, this post has some extra bonus footage in terms of the number of photos. Plus, I was having a hard time narrowing it down!

Midnight is ready to move to a forever home at any time. If you're interested in learning more about him, please email pethavendogs@yahoo.com
