Thrown away like trash. AZ Humane reached out to see if we had space. We don't usually take puppies-but Jolene was different.
She has hydrocephalus—a buildup of fluid on the brain that gives the skull a dome-shaped appearance. She weighed just 2.6 lbs when we got her. Thankfully, Jolene's case is mild.
Our neurologist confirmed she has no neurological symptoms, and said how she presents at 6 months will likely be how she stays long-term. She's currently 8 months old and bouncing around like any healthy puppy.
If anything changes later, we'll step in to cover the cost of an MRI-even post-adoption. That's in writing.
Jolene is adoptable because she has a clean bill of health, a plan, and a backup plan. Always.
The only thing unusual about her now? Her size. She's teeny-just under 30 lbs at 8 months-and looks like a mini pony galloping around.
She's a personal favorite. She's spunky, smart and calculating. She would make the best tiny adventure partner. She makes eye contact that'll stop you in your tracks, and she lives for the water!
Jolene is an absolute dime piece.
