Good for you Jason! Angus is an amazing looking bully I never will understand why people abuse their animals I would have already at least driven by the previous owners place and saw what was going on there. Angus looks like he already loves his new daddy and home very much! Welcome to you both!

Thanks all for the kind and welcoming words, I'm also sharing this account with my better half Diane as well! and yes Angus was named after AC/DC guitarist Angus Young.

I wanted him to have an English name, originally I wanted Ozzy but was overruled real quick on that,lol


Bruce that's a great idea on the weight gain the only problem with Angus is he is a picky eater and he rarely eats the same thing twice so I have about $50 worth of can food lucky for me I adopted my moms dog when she died and he will eat anything and I mean anything but he is no EB he is a beagle/mix with the devil.

I have been gradually increasing Angus's exercise to about an hour a day of walking he doesn't play much right now but in a couple of more weeks he should be stronger and more playful (fingers crossed) btw who doesn't love Ozzy?

I love Ozzy for a bully's name but love Angus Young so I love it for your Angus, great choice!

I adopted 4 y/o Brutus that had several owners, crated excessively for looooong periods at a time.

He didn't know how to play or liked toys, bones, etc. In the 7 months I had him, he learned to play
with us and loved it! Never really got attached to the toys/bones much, loved rides & being w/us.

Once Angus REALLY trusts you and especially, trusts this is HIS forever home, you'll have a different
ā€‹bully...it's an awesome, life changing thing to witness and very humbling...I will always rescue/adopt.

I havent been on for awhile 2monthsor so of having Angus he started doing strange things like ram his head into the wall he quit eating etc.. I went into a depression state with him. I had to start feeding him by spoon and giving him water by syringe.

my vet sent him to a neurologist they found a tumor in his brain stem, we started treatment.

I was devastated but the treatment was working he was eating better he was gaining his weight back and seemed happy...

Angus died 2 days ago it came real fast and extreme. I havent cried like this ever.

He began demonstrating final stages of brain failure he was panting couldnt get cool and started having seizures
I had to put him down but his vet was out of town so I waited as long as I could but had another vet do it.

I miss my boy so much I cant stand it,he was a fighter he didnt deserve this.


This is Angus 3 weeks ago looking good,to get his appetite back we grounded up hamburger so his final meals was appreciated.





RIP- Angus

Oh Jason, I'm so very sad too, hearing of your loss of the great Angus :( :( :(
I am somewhat consoled knowing what a wonderful life he had with you & Diane.
GOD bless y'all for rescuing him and giving him love & a real family & home.

I know how much it hurt that he got this tumor and had a short life after what
should have been a long, great life with y'all, safe, sound and happy. I don't
understand these things in life either.

Thank you for letting us know of his passing, I will keep y'all in my heart & my
prayers. May your heartache ease soon and know Angus is now healthy, happy
and romping with Jesus. RIP dear Angus, what a great bully you were~Much love!

Jason, I also echo the feelings of the others. YOU and your family were Angus' angels. GOD sent you to find him. You gave Angus more kindness and love in the time you had him than he had ever had. In your heart you will miss him so, but you can know he had the BEST ever while he was with you all. Some people never give their dog the love in a lifetime that Angus felt from you in the time he was with you. Angus crossed the Rainbow Bridge feeling loved. He KNEW and that is thanks to you.He got to feel loved...

I am so sorry that you only had a few short months with Angus but thank you for rescuing him and giving him a loving home. He had loving family around him when he went and that is so important. My condolences to you and your family.
