Thankfully, they had a previous adopter step up, and Fezco has been ADOPTED!!! Thank you GCSPCA for making this possible!”Steve Nichols and longtime partner John told WBBC Charlotte they are the couple who have adopted the dog.Nichols said both he and John have faced discrimination in the past so felt an immediate connection to Fezco.“We’ve been subject to that kind of bigotry and ignorance throughout our lives together, and we couldn’t always do anything about it.

We looked at each other and said, we can do something about this.”“It’s just such a silly reason to turn in a dog,” Nichols said. “We just thought it would make sense for the gay dog to be adopted by a loving gay family.”It appears Fezco may not have been well looked after by his previous owners.

He was not neutered and has heartworms. Steve and John have placed him in the care of a vet, where he will remain for a few days.They’ve also decided to mark his new life with a new name.
