Meet Bluestem, a senior gentleman whose heart is as vast as his spirit! 💖 This incredible soul entered the rescue world last March, and instead of giving up, he blossomed in foster care, transitioned to hospice, and—surprise!—has proven everyone wrong by becoming adoption ready! 🌟 When Bluestem first showed up, he was feeling pretty rough, suffering in pain, barely able to walk, and had a noticeable lack of fur. 😢 But, oh honey, with the right medication, soothing medicated baths, and tons of love from both his loving foster and fellow dogs, this superstar made a jaw-dropping recovery! Now, he’s mobile, comfy, and ready to enjoy life to the fullest! 🎉 Now, let’s talk about Bluestem's special needs. He has a fused spine, which means ongoing care is key. Regular exercise and a healthy diet will keep his back strong and fabulous! While he can hop up and down stairs, he’d thrive best in a home where stairs are limited or avoided whenever possible. 🏡 In his foster home, Bluestem runs a tight ship! He loves to play boss, keeping both resident and foster dogs in check while taking his job as household supervisor very seriously! 🐕 He gets along famously with dogs, is neutral around cats, and oh my, does he adore people! 🤗 Bluestem embodies resilience and the beauty of second chances. He's now on the hunt for a loving forever home that will cherish his leadership skills, loyalty, and his gentleness as a senior.
