Meet Sally
Sally was rescued from BARC Houston. We tried to rescue this sweet girl when she was first brought in as a stray to BARC in early February. Unfortunately, while we were on the phone tagging her, people came in to adopt her… and here we are 6 months later, Sally is 20# skinnier than in February, dirty, has severe skin issues, open and bleeding lesions on her body, is scared and has blood in her urine. She was failed yet again. We will not let her slip through our fingers this time!
SALLY is going to one of our awesome fosters who will give her all the vet care and TLC she needs to recover. We are confident we can nurse her back to health and show her happiness and sunshine for the rest of her many days!
Dogos are a wonderful breed but we urge anyone interested to dig in and do a lot of research before deciding if they are a good fit for your home. They require a lot of attention and training with them never ends! Boundaries must be enforced and they often need reminders as they push past boundaires you set! Dogos are loving, kind and gentle but don't mistake that for weakness because they are equally powerful and intense as well! Everyone in the home must be on board with having a dogo and play a major role in their daily routines and training. Yes it is work, but the rewards are ten-fold! Lazy homes don't work for dogos as they need stimulation, exercise, and lots of attention too during their younger years. Our goal in rescue is to be as transparent as we can about each and every dog plus make sure new families really understand the needs of a dogo!
