PFC Kermit

​Although only 3 years old, Kermit has triumphed over a lot of adversity in his life, but he is strong and is making progress on all fronts! He came into care as a very fearful and unsocialized young fellow and not only had to learn to trust and learn essential etiquette for living inside a home, but he also faced extensive medical issues. Not only did he have heartworms, but he also had severe bilateral patella luxation and torsion of his leg bones. BSR treated him for the heartworms, and Kermit underwent surgery on the worst side with excellent results. Overall, his needs on so many fronts kept him in care for over a year until we could even consider moving him towards adoption. In the end, though, BSR felt that the condition of his other knee was a wildcard and while not requiring surgery immediately, there is the possibility that he will need surgery down the road or the knee could lead to other complications. In addition, emotionally Kermit may always have some PTSD about strangers and needed an understanding home and fosters to help him continue to build confidence socially.
