Story
Meet Krispy, aka Christie. This sweet pup was found wandering on the side of the road in Chester, SC pregnant and foraging for food. Thankfully, a kind person took her in and posted on social media for help. Worthy Dog found her a foster home the next day and Christie gave birth just days later to three healthy puppies (Snap, Crackle, and Pop) in the warmth and comfort of a foster home. Christie was a great mom to her pups and they have all been adopted. ❤️❤️❤️ Christie is only 5 to 6 years old but came from a very neglectful life. She had no prior vet care, likely lived outside, and had dental issues that were causing her pain. The good news is she's completed her heartworm treatment, spay surgery, and had an extensive dental. She’s been living a happy, secure, pain-free life in her foster home for the past few months and is flourishing. Her foster mom, Renee, and her dog buddy, Ryder, are taking good care of her. Christie and Ryder got along well from the first meeting and had an easy integration. Christie is still figuring out how to play and will go up to Ryder and prance around, but is a little intimidated by his larger size. They run together in the yard and enjoy pack walks and she looks to him for guidance. Christie has great doggie social skills and has done well meeting other family dogs. She loves being part of a pack and is more of a follower than a leader. Christie's overall energy is laidback. She gets excited when it’s time to eat, when she sees you first thing in the morning, and when you come home. Other than that she’s pretty mellow and loves to snuggle. We feel another established and calm dog in the home would be the best fit for her. She followed Ryder’s lead from day one and they’ve become good friends. They snuggle together on the couch and in bed at night and she finds comfort in his companionship. Christie is crate-trained and housetrained and will go to the door when she needs to go out. She has been doing short leash walks and seems to enjoy getting out and about. She rides well in the car now and recently did a 4-hour road trip with Renee and slept most of the way. She also has pretty good social skills and has done well meeting friends and family who visit. It takes her a few minutes to trust, but then she’s fine. She loves Renee’s grandkids and will snuggle with them when they visit. We feel the best home for Christie has a patient owner, a calm environment, and an established dog buddy for companionship. She is skittish around loud noises, so she’s probably not a city dog. She has such a sweet, gentle personality and will make an excellent companion for some lucky owner. Christie will be coming to town on 8/10. Apply today to welcome her home.
