Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is Candie, but The Comeback Kid is what it should be! I am a very pretty, really nice 6 year old, red n white cocker girl. I came to this rescue from a NC shelter after they learned that I was heartworm positive and needed treatment to get well. I had my heartworm treatment done and I was doing well. Then my world turned upside down and I had complications hit me that severely threatened my life, so I had some awfully tough days. I was put on several medicines and I even had to have oxygen breathing treatments twice a day, which I hated.
These nice rescue folks fought hard to keep me alive and I wanted to live. It took awhile, but now my life survival issues are in the past........I am a lot healthier, energetic, happy and eager to find my new forever home. I want someone to adopt me and love me for the special girl that I am.
I am a little love bug, heartworm negative, pretty well house trained, I love toys and I am very dog social. I am a good girl, very active and I have never shown any aggression towards anyone. I adore squeaky toys, I keep a clean crate and I need and appreciate love and attention. I've had a rough life since my heartworm treatment was done.....but I beat the odds and now I want a great home, someone to care about me and just take care of my needs as necessary. I am still on some medicine and a special food diet that I must have to live the rest of my life. I no longer have a heart murmur or seizures and the vet is very pleased with my progress.......says my healing process has truly been a miracle.
I would love to be your new baby girl, a best friend and a wonderful companion to share your life. I cannot be adopted to anyone living in an apartment or condo as I have a rather loud bark and I might disturb the neighbors. Please give me my 2nd chance.......I am a real sweetheart!
It was time for me to have a heart echo test done, so they took me and the test showed that I have permanent scars on my heart from damage. But, the good news......the cardiologist said that I can be taken off one of my blood pressure drugs and in two months I can then be weaned off my other heart drug too. I do still have some lung bronchitis too, but I'm not on any meds for this issue. With all of this said........I just need to find a loving home that will take care of me and my needs so that I can just have a good rest of my life!
