Aussie Mix Lost His Beloved Humans Within Days of Each Other -- Now He Needs a Miracle
Every dog deserves a good home, but sadly so many of them end up just Bull. The Aussie mix lost both of his humans recently after they passed days from each other, and now he needs our help. The dog is at the Pawportunities rescue in Missouri, where he'll stay until he finds a new family to take him home.
The story is so tragic. It goes to show that for many animals things can change so quickly. But I have hope for the Aussie. Someone will come and save him, I just know it.
@pawportunities_rescue Bull's owners passed away within a few days of each other. They were an elderly couple, and they didn't get their dogs spayed or neutered. As a result, there were 19 dogs that ended up being removed from the property. Bull is a 4 year old Aussie mix, that weighs 36.8 pounds. Bull is a 4 year old Aussie mix, that weighs 36.8 pounds. He has a tender, stoic presence to him. Bull needs help finding a foster or foster to adopt home. If you are interested in opening up your heart and home to Bull, please text 816-935-2111. Fosters can live on either side of state line, but need to live within an hour of Blue Springs, Mo. #pawportunities#rescue#needachance#shelter#aussiemix

How to Adopt Bull
If you are ready to change a dog's life, then you should adopt Bull. He really needs a good home. If you or someone you know wants to foster or adopt a dog, you can reach out to Pawportunities and apply to adopt a dog. You can also apply to foster Bull, if you aren't ready to make the arrangement permanent.
Fostering can be an amazing way to give Bull some stability and comfort at such a trying time. Rescues can be stressful to dogs, so a loving home where he can get individual attention would do wonders for him. If you've been thinking about bringing a pup home, take the leap! You could be giving them the second chance they desperately need.
