Sami AKA Smalls Adopted April 2025 (3)

Smalls was adopted by repeat adopters Cher and Rich. He is the 6th Dane adopted by them from MAGDRL. They cannot stand being without a Dane in their home. They lost their last adopted Dane a few months ago and immediately reached out to find them another wonderful Dane companion. Smalls was being fostered by Trisha when she fell ill and needed to be hospitalized. Cher and Rich stepped in to take him home to foster and I knew he wouldn’t be going anywhere and sure enough, they foster failed.

I want to say a huge thank you to Trisha for nursing this very sick boy back to health when he was surrendered to us from a shelter. He had pneumonia and parasites and was a sack of bones. She got him back to where he should be and then Cher and Rich stepped in to get him back to 100% healthy. I also want to thank Jenny and Domenick who evaluated Smalls at the shelter and then Domenick who immediately pulled him and transported him to Trisha. Big thanks to the BOD for approving all of the healthcare that Smalls needed. Ed and I took him to the vet for Trisha a few times and he was so good, everyone loved him. We enjoyed spending time with him as well. So Smalls is now Sami Smalls. He is in a loving home who is so happy to have him. Have a wonderful life Sami! 

Smalls is a beautiful big male merlequin with natural ears who came to us from a shelter where he had been picked up as a stray.  Smalls became sick with an upper respiratory infection and was not eating enough.  He also was not adapting well to the shelter environment.  Fortunately the shelter was willing to let us take him to nurse him back to good health and find him a good loving home. Smalls weighed in at 109 lbs when he came into MAGDRL.  He was coughing with copious amounts of green mucusy nasal drainage.  He needed to see a vet for evaluation and antibiotics, fluids and other support medication.  His foster home is working diligently to get him well.  His medical care has been costly so therefore he is a Dane in Need.  He is on medical hold until he is well enough to be placed in a forever home. 

Please consider donating towards his care.  He is such a sweet boy and deserves all of the care we can give him, we want Smalls to feel well again.
