Morty entered the vet clinic as happy as can be. We’re not sure if it was because he was being carried and cradled like a baby by his foster mom, or because he was eager to be doted on by all the staff (we suspect it was a mix of both!).
This brave boy had 5 teeth removed and recovered like a champ. But, as you can see, he was less than impressed with his post-surgery accessory.
Boone’s dental was much more involved. 15 teeth were removed, and he had two nasal fistulas repaired. A nasal fistula is an abnormal opening between a dog’s nasal cavity and mouth, which can be caused by infection or periodontal disease. Thankfully, now that these have been corrected, Boone’s mouth will look, feel, and smell so much better!
Two masses were also removed from Boone’s mouth, and testing has revealed that they were simply an excess of gum tissue. This is excellent news and one more step towards his healthier and happier smile.
So, while these handsome boys were not keen to wear their protective gear, they’re now both feeling great and will soon be on the road to finding their forever homes!

Morty never misses an episode. It’s basically his “super bowl.”
Morty is being fostered in Ottawa, ON, and needs a dental, scheduled for August, before he will be ready for adoption.
This handsome ten-year-old boy was surrendered because his owner’s work schedule meant he was being left alone for long stretches of time. With the hope of giving Morty more companionship and attention, BTRC was contacted to help.
Morty’s foster mom is smitten already – it’s not hard when you’re looking at a face like his! Playing ball is #1 on his list of favourites, and a snuggle session while he winds down comes in a close second. While his feline foster siblings were wary at first, they too seem to be intrigued by their new roommate and have been making more frequent appearances to sneak a peek.
With a vet appointment coming up, we will have more to report on Morty, and we’ll be sure to update soon!
