Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet our very sweet and petite girl named Puddin! Puddin is about 8 months old, and she came to our shelter after she was found roaming on the side of the turnpike. She is a very friendly puppy who absolutely loves getting attention from people. When Puddin is outside of her kennel in our backyard, she is very calm and quiet. She has a little interest in toys, but she isn't overly excited about them. She is food motivated and already knows how to sit and give paw. When Puddin first came to our shelter, she was super skinny. We are still trying to get some weight on her, but she eats very well. We have noticed that when Puddin has pressure placed on her throat/trachea, this causes her to vomit. For example, if we use a slip lead leash around her neck and it tightens, this causes her to vomit. Because of this, Puddin will need to be walked using a harness instead of a regular collar. We aren't sure how she is with other dogs yet, but she tested well with cats. She can go to a home with children 8 years old and older who have dog experience.
At this time, Puddin is on a prescription GI food due to her having diarrhea. She has had multiple fecal tests that have come back negative. At this time, our vets think this is from a combination of IBS and anxiety from being in our kennel. She may not need to be on this food forever, but it is currently helping her now.
If you are interested in adopting Puddin, Please Email us at Adopt@savingpawsct.org for an application! Her adoption fee is $75.00.
