My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Name: Sophie
Age: 7- 8 years old
Breed/Weight: 20 pounds, Terrier Corgi Mix
Disability: Blind and diabetic

Sophie update! Sophie has made remarkable progress after receiving much needed care, insulin shots, food, and medicated baths! Her vet was over the top excited with the improvements she has made in just a short period of time! There is now a pep to her step, even a sparkle in her eyes! (The other day she shocked the vet as she jumped into her arms.) She is much more alert, has gain weight and her muscles are beginning to develop. After having several glucose evaluations we feel we are approaching the units she will continue to need and really it is not very much, so the expense of caring for this Sophie will be not to costly to a potential adopter. She is a smart cute little pup, and so deserving of a loving home.

History: Sophie was relinquished to the Baltimore shelter, to be put to sleep. After the shelter vet evaluated her she felt she deserved a second chance. A plea went out to rescues and PWD stepped up for this little girl.

Being discarded and then saved by the shelter vet was the best thing that could have happen to little Sophie. After being here for a couple of days, we realized she needed further evaluation from our vets. After xrays and blood work Sophie was diagnosed with diabetes. Unfortunately, her disease was so neglected for a long period of time, it has taken a toll on her little body. She is now getting regular treatments of insulin and responding quickly she is feeling and looking so much better! Amazing!

We will get her stabilized and hope that this little one tugs at someone’s heartstrings. We realize adopting a dog with diabetes is a huge commitment when there are many healthy dogs in need, but Sophie is a survivor. She grabbed the hearts of the shelter vet and everyone at PWD. Sophie has plenty of life and fight left in her. She gets along with other dogs, cats and loves people.

Believe me it is not hard to fall instantly in love with her. She is now wagging her tail and is so happy to finally get the medical attention she needed!
