Tang & Kool-Aid, English Bull Terriers

Kool Aid, a 2 year old English Bull Terrier, was picked up as a stray by a  local shelter and placed in an unmarked kennel.  No one realized he was locked in the outside run for 2 days with no food or water until they put a seized fighting dog into the same indoor run and opened the dog door dividing the two areas.  The fighting dog went to town on Kool Aid for about 45 mins until someone realized what happened.  His back leg and neck were shredded and no one thought he would make it. 

Kool-Aid was taken into foster care through the Almost Home Boxer Rescue. His foster-dad Andy brought him home, got him healthy and couldn’t let him go anywhere.  It didn’t take long before there was no question - he was part of the family and found his forever home.

Tang, a 9 month old English Bull Terrier, was also picked up as a stray and was cared for by the Almost Home Boxer Rescue.  His owners were eventually found but they did not want him anymore.

He has obsessive traits that are believed to be the result of lack of activity. Chewing his tail is one of these compulsive behaviors. He ended up chewing off the end of his tail. It became infected and had to be removed. 

Their new dog-dad Andy says, “These guys have completed my life and I can’t imagine it without them.  Over the past few months they have become best buds and really do have a big/baby brother relationship.  They have the best personalities, but do require a strong owner, structure, and boats loads of excercise.”
