SUGAR
(go to the end to click to his final story)
He is that sweet!
Flash!  8/24/00 a month later...
FIRST REPORT - 7/24/00 - Scroll down to see 7/29/00 Report - Sugar goes home to Grace
Sugar came to rest in front of a home where over four years ago a rescue dog named Karl sought refuge.  Karl was adopted by Helen Mieles of Central Florida.
The owner of the house called Grace and said she had one more stray Rottweiler in her front yard.  This time, the dog was in much worse shape than Karl.  GRC members Marlen Valle and Grace Acosta went to pick him up.  Karl was dragging a 12 foot chain attached to a wide collar with a padlock!  He had been tied to a tree to wait for his rescuers.   He knew his new life was going to begin.  He was the friendliest rescue we have encountered.  And so, he was named SUGAR.  We guess him to be about 3 years old.

His odor was unbearable. After removing his collar, Sugar was given a bath. 
He jumped right into his crate in Grace's van. He is a very loving dog.  He shakes hands if asked!



7/29/00
his back was oozing


8/24/00
and he has gained weight, and his fur is covering
his bones!

SUGAR was taken to Tropical Park Animal Hospital in Miami, Florida where he will go all kinds of treatments.

SUGAR IS RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL!
Saturday, July 29 - 2000 
Grace picked up Sugar from the hospital and he is now at her home.

"Sugar tested positive for heartworms. He will not undergo treatment until he has gained some weight and he is healthier.  He was dewormed, given a bath and dip, and put on antibiotics.   He is very friendly and did not want to leave Maria, the vet tech. Outside he did not have a problem in jumping inside a crate in my van. As soon as he got to my house I took new pictures.  He was fed PRO PLAN Chicken & Rice, Nupro, 
Omega 3 tables, and Happy Jack skin supplement.  He ATE THE WHOLE THING!  Sugar is now on Keflex.  Enjoy his new pictures.  I will too compare them with the ones above."

Grace,
How are you doing lately? We haven't heard from you for a while. We do know that you are extremely busy with your all your boys and girls. Hope they are all doing well. My wife Debbie and I were wondering how Sugar is doing? Is he responding to treatment alright? We are anxious to see more pictures of him if possible. We really hope he pulls through. If there is anything we can do to help, please let us know. Hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Andy and Debbie Julian

Grace, Just a Hi from Jacksonville. We see the area is about to get a little wet!! Our thoughts are with you. We did hurricane Irene when we were down there, not too bad. We know you have lots of bad weather experience, nevertheless, take care. Big kisses to Sugar from us. Good luck at the vets, can't wait for his update, we are so exited. regards, Debbie & Andy
