Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Isabel is a very pretty merlequin with two blue eyes Great Dane. She is young, estimated to be about a year old. She is a special needs dog because she is deaf. She was picked up as a stay in Port Isabel. It is obvious she did not have a good life. Very skinny, her coat is coarse from bad nutrition and fleas, her nipples are stretched from scratching her belly, she has a scar on her neck from embedded collar and a she also has swollen joint from untreated dislocation fracture. In spite of her bad condition, she is still very sweet and loving.
Isabel's blood work tests result show that she was anemic, has low platelets and low protein. She is also light HW pos. So we started Isabel on steroids and antibiotics to help her condition and also started to treat the HW. Medication seems to be working. She is more alert, has great appetite and is gaining weight. She is soon to be free and clear of all health issues, except that her foot is a bit deformed from the old injury and she'll always be deaf. But that is part of her character.
Isabel is a very sweet girl and loves getting attention. She hasn't had any training prior to coming to rescue, but is now learning some commands. Whoever adopts Isabel will have to go to special training to learn how to communicate with a deaf dog. Isabel does well in a crate and she walks well on a leash. She gets along with other big dogs, but she does have some prey drive, so she can't go to a home with small dogs or cats.
Isabel is now with White Kisses Great Dane rescue, because they specialize in deaf dogs. She's been spayed, current on all vaccinations and microchipped.
