Nellie was recently welcomed back to rescue due to a diabetes diagnosis and we working hard to get her well managed. She has been started on a special low carbohydrate diet along with twice daily insulin injections. Nellie also has a grade III heart murmur, she had a full heart workup/echocardiogram, and has been started on a lifelong heart medication (Vetmedin). Nellie will require ongoing specialty care and donations to help us provide this for her are very much appreciated. Thank you! More about NellieGood with Dogs, Good with Cats, Good with Older/Considerate Kids Only, Cratetrained, Likes to be in your lap, Affectionate *All SFCR dogs are current on age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella, and lepto), spayed/neutered (if at least 6 months of age), tested for heartworm & tick-borne disease, receive dentals if needed, are started on preventatives for heartworm and fleas/ticks, and microchipped. Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they may need extra time to adjust and settle in. Older children are often a great fit for our dogs, and family's with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may require a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly. |
