My name is Sugarplum!

Hey! I’m Sugarplum, an eight month old female Doberman puppy.

I'll be honest, I've been in rescue for most of my life! My memory isn’t too great, but I’ll tell y'all what these rescue folks told me! At some point when I was with my litter, my mom either bit me or stepped on me and my head got stuck kinda crooked. I could still get around, but I was real wobbly and it was hard to compete with my siblings for food. They started ganging up on me because I walked funny, so I was taken to a shelter. I was only there for a couple hours before some really nice people came and scooped me right up! I got to spend the holidays in a wonderful foster home, but my problems were just getting started! I wasn’t able to keep food down after a couple weeks, so I went to the vet. Turns out I have this thing called mega esophagus that keeps me from swallowing well. I've grown up real strong and healthy though, so I'm able to eat normally so far. As I grew up, my head straightened out a lot too! Now I can mostly walk in a straight line. I’ve got a few challenges, but I am a spunky little thing with a strong will to live. I like other dogs, people, and have been around cats as well! I can't promise I won't need some extra help in the future, but for now I'm ready for my next adventure! Is that with you?
