Here's what the humans have to say about me:
SUGAR –
Picked up as a stray, neglected, scared, one-eyed, ole lady, found herself at the Tulare shelter. She was euth listed so a handful of rescue warriors went to work to save her. We lovingly named her Sugar because she is soooooo sweet. Immediately got her into the vet to assess her condition; she has been neglected for some time (hair matted, underweight, skin irritation needing meds, & nails curled all the way around so that they overlapped). She got meds for her skin. She is hard of hearing. Heart is a tad weak (normal for her age; est. 8-yrs old) but no murmur!! Her back-end is a little weak (vet thinks an old injury or a newer one that is still healing). Might have mild Degenerative Back Disease. Doesn’t slow her down one bit. She gets all frisky before & after meals & when you get home. She is sweet as Sugar & enjoys cuddling up in her beds & blankets. Welcome sweet Sugar, you are a Lucky Dog now🐾💕
