Tell us about Barett and how he is special
Barrett is a 2 year old Bull Terrier. She came all the way across the country from California in August of 2012 and got her name from her Daddy's favorite gun. We got her because our first bull terrier, Palmer (named after his Daddy's favorite golfer), was 14 and my husband thought she could learn all of Palmer's good behavior as a puppy. Palmer passed onto the Rainbow Bridge in December of 2012 and six days later Barrett was diagnosed with dual luxating patellas (knees). At the tender age of 7 months, she underwent 2 different surgeries on each knee to fix the problem, each knee surgery was then followed with 30 days of rehab up in Wilmington. Today, a year and several pins & screws later, she shows no signs of knee issues and has fully recovered and healed from her surgeries. Had someone else adopted Barrett, it is likely that she would have been put down because of her knee issues, but we had to try and give her the best life that we could and she deserves! We think we made the right decision…… :)
