Congrats on your rescue. I am mom to five rescues. Beans was my last and is my last. LOL. He came to me after losing my 17 month old Yorkie to a brain abnormalty. Beans like your guy was living in a small cage. For him it was a 9x12 plastic carrier. He was six months when we took him. He's now a year old. Like you I feel like he rescued me. I had been so depressed over losing my Jersey and found Beans completely by fate. My Tia has LP but she still sleeps with me. We have a big stuffed chair she climbs onto before climbing onto the floor. They are pretty smart like that. You can even put a little ramp from bed to floor. Since he lives so long in a cage just my personal oppinion I would not ever put him in a crate. That's just my opinion. I know for Beans when we got him he never again went into the crate or cage. It was too tramatic for him. Good Luck. Elaine |
