Haddi

One day we didn’t see them at all. We looked, and we went back and looked again the next day, and then the day after.
Finally, searching frantically the following day, we discovered them hiding inside a run-down, abandoned house.
These were NOT the pups we had seen, even just a few days before. They were exhausted, without energy, unable to stand up or move when we approached them.
Their mother was gone – we never did see her again. Present were just a handful of adult male dogs who were paying no attention whatsoever to the sickly, needy pups.
We took them straight to the early clinic to seek diagnosis and treatment. Sure enough, three of them were suffering from deadly parvovirus. Only one pup was pronounced clear, so we named him Rocky (after the boxer!) for being strong and healthy, despite all odds.
It took Haddi and Jimmy two weeks of intensive care to recover. And tragically, one little brother – sweet Max – could not overcome the deadly disease and succumbed.
However, with intensive treatment and TLC, three weeks later, Haddi and Jimmy were declared out of danger. Six weeks after their ordeal had begun, they were released from the clinic and finally reunited with their beloved brother, Rocky.

They were now healthy, happy, playful, sweet dogs who fully enjoyed a busy life in the company of our other fostered pups.

Rocky was strong, healthy, and confident, the leader of the trio. Jimmy was the clown, with one ear up and one ear perpetually down. Both were adopted into loving homes in the USA this summer.

When Haddi was rescued with his brothers, he was the weakest and skinniest of the trio and needed the longest period of treatment.
Things are not always as they seem, however, and Haddi not only survived, but ultimately truly THRIVED, growing into a strong, healthy (he is a real food lover!), happy, and tranquil little boy.

Haddi was always a bit more shy than his brothers, but has steadily come out of his shell, especially now that he is the sole one of his family at the farm. It took a little time to adjust to shining in the spotlight, but he is learning to embrace his position now!
Haddi has become the first dog at the farm to greet us every morning! He still likes a bit of time to get used to new people, but is fabulous once he gets to know them, and is wonderful with other dogs, happily greeting new playmates
If you would like further information about Haddi, don’t hesitate to ask.   ISDF is seeking an amazing forever family that will embrace this sweetheart for the rest of his life.
