What in the Douce Deuce??  :)) That's bayou speak for "Sweet Two" and, he is!!
Survivor of Hurrican Katrina with BFF Apollo!


What the Deuce?? My BFF is gone... :(

Seven year-old Deuce has had a hard life and came to GCDR years ago after being surrendered at a vet's clinic when he was found to have parvo. He was adopted by a veterinarian in Mississippi and there, met his best friend Deuce. Life was good there until Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast Community. His owner believed her home was safe as it had withstood hurricanes before. Intending to ride out the storm with her dogs she finally relented to family pressure and sought shelter at the last minute leaving Apollo and Deuce behind with enough food and water for several days. Her Mississippi community was virtually washed away by the storm. She returned home as soon as local police would allow and found her home only partially standing. Doors had to be knocked down to search through the devastation. Behind the last door were Apollo and Deuce, curled up together on a wet mattress. Scratches near the ceiling evidenced their desperate attempts to keep their heads above water as it rose. Together, Apollo and Deuce had miraculously survived.

Due to the financial hardships brought by the storm their owner surrendered both Apollo and Deuce back to GCDR. Given all these two wonderful dobes have been though it has been decided that it would be a crime to separate them now. Apollo and his buddy Deuce are now with a wonderful foster family until a forever home can be found who will take them both. They are extremely bonded and spend their days on a sofa together where you can find Deuce gently grooming his dear friend Apollo.

UPDATE:  Mr. Deuce's BFF Apollo died in April of 2012 - they had more than another year together.  Mr. Deuce misses his BFF a lot but he is comforted in the love and care he still enjoys!!
