Libby is a two-year-old Caucasian Shepherd that was found as a stray. She does have a permanent health condition that makes her Special Needs.
We noticed right away that she has a strange gait and we were concerned, so she saw a specialist. The tests showed some undetermined neurological issues and arthritis, as well as dysplasia in all four limbs. This causes her to walk in a wobbly way. These things do not stop this determined, lovable girl ,though. She will “run” around the yard and play with the kids, and chew on bones all day long.
She is a very unique dog that will need a particular home to spend the rest of her life in. There are some specific requirements for her to safely walk aruond.
Minimal stairs, and carpet or a lot of area rugs.
The home will also need a gated yard with open access to the door, such as a sliding door, French doors, or a door that is not on a landing or down steps.
Most importantly, she needs a home with all the love and kisses to give to her!
Regular trips to the groomer
Libby is great with kids and has been in her foster home for a few months with 9, 7, and 3 year old kids. She also is currently living with two other large breed dogs. She would likely do best in a home with non guardian breeds, and has not been around smaller dogs. She has only been around cats once that we know of, and she didn't seem like a huge fan of them.
Libby is currently on an anti-inflammatory medication twice a day, potentially for the rest of her life, cost is around $60-$70 a month. She is a big girl and with that also comes lots of food. She eats about 7-8 cups of food a day, and the water bowl will always need refilling.
Libby is just a big cuddly bear that needs all the love she can get.
