Here's what the humans have to say about me:
>
> This perpetually happy girl almost didn't make it out alive, literally.
>
> First Poppins ended up a stray at a small rural TN shelter. Possibly because of her unusual gait? She won the hearts of the staff and they literally begged rescue to step up while she waited on the euthanasia table. Of course we stepped up to the call, got her to safety thru a rescue friend and then she faced another life and death issue, Parvo.
>
> Several folks stepped up at this point to do all they could for a 1 year old, 9 lb boston mix in need, having only seen a shelter video and receiving a desperate call from her rescue.
>
> Poppins is a SURVIVOR!
>
> Today she headed to our ortho vet for an evaluation and X-rays. It seems she was born with these issues and no surgery can or is needed to repair. She is rear end stiff legged with no viable knee joints. The ligaments, tendons and even the knee cap never developed. She is in no pain and gets around extremely well.
>
> Stairs are a bit hard for her but otherwise she is a happy, tail wagging, people and other dog loving little girl seeking a family to call her own.
>
> Are you that family? She has come up against 3 strikes and came out wagging...she will wag her way into your hearts.
>
> She is fostered/located in Knoxville TN and will only go north direct to an approved applicant. Her adoption fee covers transport north, all vet care to age, rabies, Heartworm test, flea and hw meds, microchip, spay, ortho consult.
