Arrived into Rescue in 2016 at 3 months old
Little did we know that time would unfold with a really good outcome. Now in 2020, at age 4, he is alive and well, running like the wind because one medication trial worked - Sildenafil - the canine version of viagra. The drug allows the esophageal ‘flap’ to lower over the stomach opening so food will not come out. This miraculous find has given Rossi an active, truly full BC life. Watching this vibrant boy be allowed to join others in the pack to run and drink water as needed and eat without spoonfuls of small food, has been a joy. Rossi is truly one of the happiest rescues we have ever seen!

RESIDENT ROSSI is not only a gorgeous guy, he is a very stable, good-natured Border Collie, normally easily adoptable. That wasn’t the case for him. At 3 months old, his swallowing disorder, Megaesophagus, left him horribly underfed since every meal meant regurgitation. Relinquished to Glen Highland, we knew Rossi could live a very short life so sought out every medical option possible but nothing worked well. The first year of his life, he landed at Cornell’s ICU every single month with aspiration pneumonia, at risk of death. Hyper-vigilant oversight of every bite of food or slurp of water became everyday life at the Founder’s home. Days were filled with tears and worry.
