About PhotoVegas is a tall, dark, and handsome, wolfhound mix with an "Eeyore" personality. He overcame a lot of abuse in his early years, thanks to the dog-loving citizens of Seal Beach. His owner mistreated him, but gave him up at the age of 4 and a rescuer picked him up on his last day in a kill shelter. Although the rescuer had saved over 300 dogs, she had never taken a dog to our vet. When our vet took a look at Vegas, she thought of us, and got us in contact with the rescuer. It was meant to be, as we knew the rescuer and we lived in the same neighborhood. Can this all be coincidence? Vegas really struggled to socialize since we lived in a rural area with few humans. However, when we moved to Seal Beach, and took daily walks, Vegas found that ALL people he encountered were nice to dogs! He found water bowls, treats, a warm handshake and plenty of pets, everywhere he strolled. The town, literally turned his life around. I want to thank the many people that showed a kindness toward Vegas. Although he passed away this year at the age of 14, he was truly at peace and fully recovered from his trauma. What a wonderful town, that cares so much for its people and its pups. Postscript: As of October, we have a new rescue from SBACC. She is a beautiful 18 month old blonde husky, we named Layla. She can't wait to meet you around town -- expect licks.
