At 18 years old, Sundance came to us starved, neglected and shut down. Born in 2004, he had been passed around from home to home to home, then sent to auction, to be rescued by a group to then only be neglected and starved. We took him in and gave him the necessary veterinary, farrier and nutritional support he desperately needed. When he was healthy enough, he went into training and we began the search for his forever adoptive home. We then discovered that he had major arthritis in his right hock and his mobility was beginning to become a struggle. We decided that he has been through enough and felt he would be best suited living out his days in our care where his future would be certain. He is now receiving daily medications and support and living his best life in retirement. Sundance has regular scheduled farrier and veterinary care, as well as special dietary and medication needs.
