Xuma's Facebook Album
September 2023: Xuma continues to be a complete JOY in foster care. She has so much personality and has blossomed in my home. The weekend of September 23/24, Xoomie Xoom Xoom will be running in her first hunt test and I actually hope to end the weekend with an AKC Junior Hunter Title. Her AKC PAL registered name is "IBR's Life if the Party", because she is always in the middle of any play activity when she is outside with her buddies. After that and while she is still in foster care, we will be doing some FastCAT competition. My foster dogs are busy when they are with me. A dog like Xuma that came in so sickly with Lyme disease with sores all over her body and some aches and pains from the old car accident being helped by chiropractic care, is a testament to what we do in my rescue. Getting her back out into the field to do what she was bred to do is one of my favorite goals while in my care.
Xuma, (pronounced Zuma), is a petite, beautiful Orange and White Pointer originally from London, Ontario, Canada. She is out of French Pointer lines and was bought my a man in the Chicago area in 2018. She was sadly hit by a car in 2021 and has some nerve damage and some movent issues we are having worked on by our local chiropractor. We were asked to help rehome Miss Xu. Xuma also tested positive for Lyme disease and while she is being treated for that, she will need a conscientious adopter that can take her to our vet in the Chicagoland area annually to help monitor her health.
Xuma aka XuXu (ZuZu) is a complete JOY!! She runs like a maniac in spite of her back end weakness and she LOVES to play with other dogs. She is also a squirrel hunter and will point them on a walk! Xuma also loves to run in the field and completely reliable at the dog park-- handling like a dream- and was hunted over in her past life, although her health is priority and we are looking for a pet home right now. If I don't find a home for her in the next few months, I will be running her in local hunt test for fun.
While Xuma was kept as an outdoor dog, she house trained quickly and she is also content in a cage in the air conditioning when I leave the home. She is cat safe and I would like her to find a home with another playful dog. Xuma has an under-bite so she can never go into the show ring and her spay and a little dental is coming up soon. I do have her entered into a Fast CAT event in late July and that should be a lot of fun.
Any potential adopters need to live in the Chicago area and a fenced in yard is mandatory for her safety. If you would like to help, please click HERE to submit a foster to adopt home application.
