Their story
Why this pet matters.
Boots is a 13-year-old Terrier mix who is diabetic and blind. This snuggle bug has great hearing, even when he's asleep, he can hear someone sit down and will be right there to be in their lap. He gets so excited for mealtimes and is a total champ when receiving his insulin injections. Boots is enjoying his retirement at the house where he knows his people, surroundings, and routine.
