🌟 Meet the amazing Bumper, a testament to resilience and spirit! This beautiful soul is not just any dog; he has a backstory that will tug at your heartstrings. Picture this: Bumper was discovered on the side of the road after being struck by a car, emaciated and bloodied, with a large gash on his head—the reason behind his unforgettable name. Can you believe that after being taken in with little hope for survival, he defied the odds and woke up the next day? With every passing hour, Bumper showed the world his unyielding strength and determination to recover! 💪💖 Fast forward to today, and you'll find Bumper thriving under the loving care of the rescue staff. He's such a happy-go-lucky dog, always pulling off that big, toothy grin that melts hearts! He may still need a little help with his leash manners, and yes, he might need some additional house training, but his playful energy and friendliness make every moment with him a joy. This affectionate boy just wants to spend his time running and playing, and he would absolutely shine in a home with space to roam! 🏃‍♂️🐾 While Bumper has been diligently kept up-to-date on all his vaccinations, dewormings, and heartworm preventatives, he is on the journey to shed a few pounds, thanks to his love for play! Just imagine him bounding around your backyard, the joy written all over his face. 🏡🎉 One thing to keep in mind: Bumper would thrive best in a home with responsible older children, as his strength is something to reckon with! A little patience during leash training and house training will go a long way. This wonderful dog truly deserves a chance at a happily ever after, so please consider giving Bumper the loving home he’s been patiently waiting for! Remember, **apply through the Buddy App** to take the next step toward bringing this resilient boy home! 📲🐶 Bumper is currently located in Georgia but with an approved application, he can be transported to New Jersey. He'll be available for adoption at the Tractor Supply in Ringoes during one of our monthly adoption events. Let’s make it happen for him!
