When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Or, as Flipflop put it, when life throws you a curve ball, face it with the finest smile!
Bosley’s Place, a Georgia rescue, shared a tale of the tenacity and great spirit of Flipflop, a tiny little puppy. This tiny puppy like a Teddy Bear was rejected by his mother during the newborn stage owing to a disability, but he fought his way to recovery!
Then came the greatest surprise of his life!
Flipflop did not have a good start in life. At only a few days old, this tiny furball found himself alone after his mother rejected him. Because of his front limb abnormality, he was on the point of death, fighting for each breath.Then the miracle occurred!
The giant-hearted rescuers at Bosley’s Place in Georgia decided to intervene and change this tiny boi’s life for the better.
Flipflop began to improve as soon as he was admitted. He quickly became attached to the bottle and began to gain weight with each passing day.
“Other than the obvious deformity of his front left leg, he appears to be very healthy with a great appetite,” the Bosley’s Place team posted on Facebook.
The excellent people at BP tracked his development around the clock. And, within weeks, this rejected boi had transformed into a healthy and happy pup!
Then, as Flipflop became older, the answer arrived!
According to the vet, this tiny boi (a full-blooded toy Poodle) was well without surgery.
As soon as he was approved for adoption, great news occurred at the rescue! Nikki and her family, who have always been avid dog lovers, decided to bring Flipflop home.
The BP crew was overjoyed to see their little buddy finally begin a new chapter in his life. And knowing he was going home with Nikki was such a comfort for everyone!
This absolutely amazing family did not stop there! Aside from Flipflop (now Butters), they accommodated two more special-needs canines, Griff and Henry.
Butters couldn’t be happier in his new home with his favorite siblings and hoomans. After a difficult start in life, he has now arrived where he deserves to be, with each day presenting a new challenge!
