My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Are you looking for a high energy but super sweet tripod to make your life better? We have her!
Meet SweetTart! This adorable girl was found back in January by board member Kaitlyn at her job which is no place for a pup to be running around!
She is estimated to be 2-3 years old!
She weighs in at 54lbs
Once she was lured out of the woods, she was absolutely terrified but knew we were there to help.
We quickly realized that her front leg was basically one giant open wound with bone exposed.
It was swollen, infected, and painful as all get up.
Based on her sagging teets we think she was overbred and then dumped when injured.
She has definitely had a lot of babies.
But yet she wagged her tail and smiled at us.
We got her to the vet where they said she needed the leg amputated ASAP. She was tested for heartworms and vaccinated that day as well.
She is heartworm negative and UTD on vaccines.
She had the leg amputated 4 days after her initial vet visit and oh my god you would think she still has all 4 legs! She is so fast it does not slow her down one bit! She loves to play and she stays close in the yard. She has pretty good leash manners but does pull a little bit when excited.
She does good with other dogs and seems unbothered by cats.
SweetTart was spayed yesterday and given a 3 years rabies vaccine!
She will be looking for a forever home once she is healed up.
SweetTart is with foster and is doing well with training. She would love to be your new best friend!

More about this rescue

We are a small cat based rescue in chiefland, FL however we take in urgent dogs as well when needed. When I moved back to Florida from Michigan last year I was quickly reminded of how different it is here. The strays running wild everywhere, people abandoning their animals, adopting out sick cats, not helping the hurt ones. It breaks my heart. I have the finances to help now, so I'm doing everything I can to give these cats the life they deserved the first time around.
