PERMANENT Old Dog Haven FOSTER HOME NEEDED:
(located in W. Washington state or Portland OR only)
14-year-old "Poppy" is a spayed female, corgi (a guess) mix,
who is currently overweight at 19 pounds.
the other foster dog in the home, is quickly relearning housetraining,
and has a great personality. She had been left in a home all alone with someone
coming to check on her only once a day for over a month so she was using potty pads.
Poppy has a lot of skin damage, especially to the back of her legs, and she's sore all over her back end - the belief is from that skin/licking issue. It's possible that she has Cushing's (which would make skin issues more likely) or allergies, or
even to the pitch-like substance the vet attempted to remove from her
feet.
She has seen a vet while waiting for us to find a home for her. We would definitely want to recheck labs and her skin after she's had some time out of the shelter and with medicated baths and supplements. Thankfully her temporary shelter foster has begun that, but her care will take effort - and time away from stress! - to turn this around. We can assure you that seeing your efforts bring comfort to a dog will make YOU feel so good!
As you can see from her photo, Poppy has a "cherry eye" which is a little funny-looking but not a big issue and doesn't affect vision.
This little girl has had a LOT of stress and shows it physically, but she responds so well to a friendly approach. We can't wait to see how Poppy will blossom in a permanent Old Dog Haven home. Are you the one who will be her hero?
If you would like to apply to become Poppy's permanent foster home through Old Dog Haven, please read through the link below. Once you've done so, you can email our applications manager to start the process of joining our family of forever fosters.
with lots of love and medical care.
