Story
Crystal is a 6 yr old Pomeranian mix who weighs 7 lb. Crystal is spunky and energetic. She's a snuggler and affectionate and enjoys walking and sleeping in the bed with her foster parents. This friendly, happy Pom mix could be an only dog or have another small dog in the home, but she's really about her people. Any other dog in the home will need to be under 10lbs. She has mastered leash walking and doing well on housetraining. Crystal had a visit to the cardiologist who identified via an ultrasound a heart murmur due to mitral valve disease and put her on Vetmedin. Crystal will need to be on this medication for the rest of her life and should receive cardiology checkups once a year or sooner if something changes. She has no outward signs of heart issues at this time but will benefit from Vetmedin (which slows the progression of heart enlargement and produces a good quality of life). Although Crystal is asymptomatic for heart disease, whoever adopts her will have to be vigilant and watch for any possible progression of heart disease and be able to afford Vetmedin (which she will need to be on for the rest of her life) and heart check-ups. Heart disease is not uncommon in small dogs, so please read up on it and research the cost of Vetmedin. Crystal is on Vetmedin 2 times/day. Her outlook is good with weight control and Vetmedin. Crystal will come with 2 bottles of Vetmedin. The adoption range for this dog is limited to NC, SC, VA and East TN. If you are interested in adopting this dog, contact h2hadoptions@gmail.com. There is an application process and adoption fee. WE REQUIRE AN ALL-ADULT HOME WITH A SECURELY FENCED YARD. The secure fence must be 4ft or higher, with gaps no greater than 1.5 inches, and attached to the home - meaning you have an inside door that opens into the fenced yard. An invisible fence, enclosed patio, terrace or deck, temporary fencing, dog pens or dog lots or community shared fencing (dog park) are NOT considered secure fencing. If your fencing has "puppy pickets" (or is supplemented with garden fencing) it needs to be at least 36 inches high from the ground up AT THE LOWEST POINT. No exceptions. We are an all-volunteer organization, and in addition to saving dogs, we have other responsibilities, so we appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. Response time can take up to 5 business. Please inquire only if you are willing to come to Greensboro, NC to meet the dog after we schedule your home visit. We do not ship dogs or put them on transports. Veterinary Care: All Hart-2-Heart Rescue foster dogs are spayed/neutered, current on heartworm prevention, parvo/distemper, bordetella, and rabies vaccines, and are professionally groomed. As needed, our foster dogs have teeth cleanings, extractions, bloodwork and other diagnostic testing. Adoption Fee: $500July 24, 2024, 4:40 am
