Meet the adorable Vana (also goes by Tinks). She came into the rescue a very neglected, shy and scared little dog. But boy has she made a complete 180 change!! Unfortunately, we don’t know much of her background other than she was found as a stray and in bad condition. She overcame a severe case of mange, double ear infections, and a UTI. When first arriving it was noted that she had very limited to no vision. Upon going to an eye vet specialist, it was determined that she may be able to gain vision back in one of her eyes with aggressive treatment and further diagnosis of possible valley fever. Well, he was right, she does have valley fever. But through great diet, eye drops, and medication for her valley fever, she has regained vision in her one good eye and sees great.
Tinks is feeling so much better and has started to blossom into this wonderful young, spunky, playful girl that she’s always wanted to be. Tinks is estimated as 5 years old and is around 11 lbs. She loves attention, loves to play with and chew on any kind of dog toys/or bones. She gets along with other dogs after an introduction. She’s fine with cats and will try and play with them. She loves people of all sizes. She’s slowly learning to enjoy lap time and will come and ask for pets and belly rubs. She’s a little timid of the car, but over time would probably adjust just fine. She’s ok on a leash, but we haven’t spent much time with training, but I think with some patience she’ll figure it out. She’s housebroken and sleeps great through the night. This sweet girl is ready to find that wonderful home where she’ll be loved and cherished for the rest of her days. She will be on eye drops for life and will require at least an annual trip to Eye Care of Animals for a check up. She’s currently being treated for Valley Fever and is responding great to the medication.
