Deacon came to TOESR as the result of a reluctant owner release. Upon noticing that Deacon was exhibiting signs of fairly significant issues with his hips, several veterinary opinions suggested that surgery was highly recommended. TOERS felt a strong commitment to Deacon and with the help of our foster family who provided an equally strong commitment, we're happy to announce that Deacon's procedure has been a success. His physical therapy is ongoing and will allow Deacon to have a much better life. We want to thank Marianne and Bill for their unwaivering support. It's not a surprise that a wonderful bond formed throughout all this and that an adoption by this family has followed. We can't wait to see Deacon in his element, enjoying his new life!
