Time for a Sweetie Pie update! Her history has been found out and her vet work results came back. She is a 12 year old Coonhound Husky cross, and her past homes were/are unable to care for a senior dog. Bloodwork shows chronic kidney disease, possibly Cushings, and need for further vet workup.
Well, the not good news is that the senior care foster home she was to go to today with the help of LMHS was unable to take her, so she continues to need a foster - adoptive home.
The great news is how lovely a dog she is to welcome into anyones home - she is totally sweet and smart and easy to care for. SWEET: she loves people, gets on well with other dogs, non-confrontative; SMART: knows sit, down, come, shake a paw, kiss, sing, fetch, drop it, go to your bed, out, go p*e!; EASY to Care for: obedient - good recall, loves walks, non-reactive around dogs, loves people, loves treats, loves car rides, loves swimming, goes p*e when asked, quiet in the house, bladder control is vastly improved when she is reminded to go out to p*e every hour or two.
If anyone is still interested in donating towards her vet work up and care costs it is appreciated at anytmie - and thanks to those who have sent in $250 donations towards her $550 current care costs, and future care costs.
It is so sad that so many senior dogs are abandoned when their health care becomes complicated and costly, and there is no where for them to go. SAINTS which supports senior dogs with health complications like Sweetie, was full. And I am so lucky that DMRS/Lower Mainland Humane Society stepped in to offer to try to find her a senior care foster home. Please share to anyone you might know that could take in a senior dog for now to end of life care.
