Remember Freight? He was living in a railyard for over a month, but had been suffering for far longer than that. He was very fortunately rescued, and then taken in by a lovely foster family. Well, both Freight and his fosters fell in love with each other, so they decided to make his living arrangement a permanent one.

This heart-warming update comes from Trio Animal Foundation:

THE DAY HAS COME WHEN FREIGHT HAS FOUND HIS FOREVER HOME!

When TAF was contacted about Freight he was in pretty bad shape. In fact, he was so matted that he could no longer properly relieve himself or fully extend his legs. It would take shaving his bottom down to even see what gender her was. The burrs, dried feces, urine, twigs, dirt, etc., matted into the tangled fur, made it impossible to see his anatomy.

If that wasn’t bad enough, it was discovered that Freight was heartworm positive. Poor Freight just couldn’t catch a break. It would take weeks of hospitalizations before Freight was healthy enough to go into foster care. This is where his recovery continued while undergoing heartworm treatment.

Freight’s foster mom and dad took him under their wing and made sure that he made it to all of his vet appointments at our vet. They not only gave Freight a serene environment to recover in but allowed us to focus on some of the other critical medical cases in our care. We knew that they had our back and that Freight would not go without.

Well, we are happy to announce that Freight’s foster family has adopted him! They are so in love with Freight and just couldn’t bear parting with him. To his new mom and dad, Freight was part of their family well before he was available for adoption. By the look of Freight’s adoption photo, he couldn’t be prouder or happier.

A big thank you to everybody that has donated towards Freight’s medical care and kept him in their thoughts and prayers. Your generosity and kindness has truly been appreciated!
