Here's what the humans have to say about me:
6/20/15 - ADOPTION PENDING!
Adoption Fee: $500
Fostered in Texas
Age: 2 years
Weight: 6 lbs.
2/10/15 - Josie's recovery from her ear surgery went well. She did have some problems with medications and it was thought that she might have a liver shunt. Testing showed that she does not have a shunt, but does have microvascular displasia. She will remain on liver diet. She also has some issues with allergies and is currently on meds for that. Testing revealed multiple issues so we are trying to decide the best course of action for her.
She is only able to hear very loud noises. We are helping her with hand commands and she has done well. She is a very, very sweet pup!
10/30/2014 - Josie's ear surgery is complete and she is resting comfortably in the hospital tonight. She should be discharged to her foster home tomorrow. We will keep you posted on her recovery. :)
Again, many thanks to all of our wonderful supporters for helping us fix Josie's ears!!!
10/21/14 - Josie had her spay and dental and did very well! She will be seeing the surgeon about her ears on October 29th.
Many thanks to all of you for the prayers and donations for Josie!
10/14/14 - Josie was surrendered to a local animal control by her owners with ears that hurt just to look at them. We don’t know how long this poor baby has been in this condition, but the pain she must be feeling has to be tremendous. A rescue group pulled sweet Josie since she knew that she would be euthanized quickly because of her medical needs. They quickly reached out to YHR, offered an approved foster home (which was also approved by YHR) and now this baby is ready for a better start. She is receiving love and attention from her foster family. She goes to the vet this Friday to be spayed, have a dental cleaning and be microchipped. Soon thereafter, we will bring her to GCVS where they will need to perform a Total Ear Canal Ablation and Ventral Bulla Osteotomy (Needs TECA Procedure) of both ears. This condition honestly should never have been allowed to get this bad.
Josie and YHR need your help to pay for the necessary surgery. She obviously doesn’t hear currently since her little earlobes are closed up; but hopefully soon Josie will hear the sweet voice of her foster mom and the birds singing outside and her foster fursiblings barking. We appreciate any help you can give to give Josie the gift of hearing and a life without constant pain.
