From her foster: Wobbles is a sweet, easy going, blue heeler gal - with all the love and affection in the world! She is SO friendly and just wants to be by her humans. She is quick to warm up to you, as long as you give lots of scratches and pets. :) She has gotten along well with all of my resident dogs (all sizes from chihuahua to husky) and has not shown any reactive behaviors while playing. She does show a little bit of guarding with bones and treats (so far not her meals though); she communicates well with giving a little warning growl towards other dogs to say, "hey, this is mine!". She is house trained, crate trained, walks on a leash, and seems to travel well in the car. She is not very vocal yet, and has only let out a few barks when letting me know there's a person walking by a couple of times - seems to do well with the city sounds. She still has that ACD energy and loves to play with my resident ACD mix. She's just as happy to lay next to me quietly while I work. She is truly happy to go anywhere we go, with lots of enthusiasm and curiosity. She has been such a joy to have around!
Wobbles gets her name from her back left leg. The intake staff told me it does not appear to cause any pain or discomfort at this point. It doesn't seem to slow her down much. She has some limited mobility that should be taken into consideration (i.e. home with a ton of stairs may not be ideal, but some stairs are okay!) I will be taking her into TBB Vet 4/19 to find out if any other vetting is needed. She may need to lose a few lbs to get to a healthy weight, however TBD until the vet appointment. She has not been tested with cats or humans; based on the breed, there may be some "sharky" heeler tendencies with children or other animals.
From the Vet:
Hi! I'm Wobbles and the vet wanted to provide an update after my exam. Based on my exam and x-rays my left hip is normal but I have some hyperextension of the hind limb which could have been caused by a few different things ie. congenital abnormality, previous infection or injury so exact cause is hard to determine. My future family may need to be prepared to pay special attention to my leg and make sure I am continuing to not have any issues with pain etc. Any surgical intervention is not recommended at this time.

The Bond Between's goal is to not keep any animals at our rescue office. The majority of our animals are living in foster homes until they are adopted. Occasionally, animals are living in our rescue office that are in need of a foster home.
If you would like to meet an animal at our office who needs a foster, please reach out to inofficeanimals@thebondbetween.org and fill out our foster interest form at https://www.thebondbetween.org/foster

We wake up every morning saying YES to connecting people and animals, caring for them, and helping them fill each other’s hearts.
