My name is Surf!

Meet Surf, the Syrin:

This sweet girl came from a home with over 30 dogs and is very fearful of new situations. She is very friendly and warms up quickly with treats and encouragement and is very food motivated. Surf lived with other dogs and seems to be social with other dogs which leads us to believe that she would love a resident canine companion.

Surf will need the typical puppy training as she doesn't know what a leash is and is quite fearful of the leash. You will need to help her get over this fear with Animal Kind training and positive encouragement. This may take some time, but it will be a rewarding venture into a life of long walks and love for her family. She will also require house training as none of these dogs were exposed to home living. She looks to people she knows for comfort and is an absolute sweetheart.

Surf also has abnormal knee joints. Her right knee has some developmental abnormalities, and the left knee looks to have been previously fractured and healed abnormally. Whoever adopts Surf will need to work closely with their veterinarian regarding a joint management strategy. Currently she has been prescribed Hills J/D Mobility food, ProFlex Joint Supplements once per day, and she will require Cartrephen injections once per week for 4 weeks, then once per month after. She should be kept mobile with short daily walk, but hiking and running is out as too much activity will be hard on her joints.

If you are interested in this sweet girl, please come and meet her!
