Biscotti Update!
Biscotti didn't get the diagnosis that we had hoped for. All of the signs and symptoms point to IVDD (Invertebral Disk Disease), which is common in breeds like Frenchies. Although she has regained mobility in her back legs after treatment, she is going to revert back to paralysis and need treatment again and again. She will eventually become paralyzed (hopefully not until years down the road). She is also still technically blind, only seeing some shadows and she will not regain her sight.
We felt that Biscotti needed a rescue with more expertise on this medical diagnosis. A huge thanks to Fighters For Frenchies Foundation for helping Biscotti on her journey! She will be leaving on Monday for a foster who is knowledgeable about her condition and will help her on her way. She is such a loving dog, we know that her foster is going to love her!
Shelters work with rescues like this to find the best possible solution to a pet's outcome. We encourage you to support shelters and rescues who are drowning in animals and medical needs! Biscotti most likely came from a breeder. If you choose to purchase a dog from a breeder, it is important to ensure the breeder does the responsible genetic and health testing involved in breeding healthy animals. Many cases like this could have been avoided if proper breeding was done. Specialty rescues like this now exist because of irresponsible breeding.
We ALWAYS encourage you to check shelters for any breed of dog when you are looking! There are lots of rescues specific to breed types as well. Shelter dogs come in all shapes and sizes! Many dogs are euthanized due to space at other shelters. Shelter and rescue dogs are adopted out fixed and are not contributing to the overpopulation of dogs! We are trying to fix this issue!

We are open Wednesday through Friday 3-7pm and Saturday 10am-2pm. If you are interested in adopting please fill out the online application before you come in to speed up the adoption process. That way you can be pre-approved and possibly take your pet home the same day! We go in order of application received, so the sooner you get in your application, the better! If you decide not to adopt, then we will keep your app on file for a short period and you can keep watching for the pet that best meets your needs.
