Willy Wonka was going to be euthanized by the shelter for medical reasons. 2nd Chance rescued him and we immediately took him to a neurologist for x-rays and an MRI. Both revealed that Willy Wonka didn't have any feeling in his nerves to his intestines and colon; therefore he had no control over his bladder or stool, but aside from that he could live a very good life. We found an amazing foster family, and Willy flourished under their care. He's made a lot of progress. Here is a note shared by his foster mom: "Willy is the happiest dog I know. He loves to play, run and chase his ball. His daily routine is letting him out of his kennel he sleeps in and I let him outside to eat breakfast along with giving him 3 liquid medications. He runs around and loves to lay directly in the sun. After some outside time, I place a male diaper wrap around his waist and a diaper Velcro cover. He does well with this and that keeps from accidents in the house. When he gets excited if company is over I have a body suit I place on him with a diaper wrap and pad inside to his rear to ensure no leaking with excitement. He loves his toys and bones. He’s just about a year so he still has a little puppy in him occasionally chewing something he shouldn’t so it’s best to have toys accessible for him. He gets 1 of his 3 medications in midafternoon. Then all 3 again at night time. I do not place a diaper wrap on him at night while in his kennel just so his bladder and belly can breathe a bit, there is usually a little mess overnight, so I take out the blankets and wash them on a speed cycle in the morning. Willy loves walks and kids. I did recently see that he was a little food aggressive with one of the neighbor kids. He was in his kennel eating but growled when they came to sit on the outside by him. I have never seen him do that with my son or us before. He loves to play with our cat and other dogs. We live next to a green belt and he will bark when he hears other dogs playing on the other side of the fence. I can usually redirect him with a toy or treat. Willy would need about 3 diaper changes throughout the day along with backyard time for diaper breaks and exercise. He is great at cuddles and kisses. " If you think you could open your heart, your home, and provide Willy with the ongoing care he needs, we would provide for his medical and living expenses for six months, and work closely with you to make sure that Willy and his family are appropriately supported for success.
