Story
Meet Noni, a very special compact, sweet, and spunky little nugget. She is a smaller girl, less than 40 pounds, with a BIG story to share; there is no dog with more heart, soul, and determination than this nearly three year old little girl. After being hit by a car, Noni was found by a good Samaritan who took her to a very rural vet clinic. She had two broken legs on the same side of her body, and the rear leg was so very badly broken it was uncertain as to whether the leg might need amputation. An emergency plea for a foster went out to all Angels, so a foster could be found and Noni could be brought to Atlanta for specialized evaluation to determine a treatment and care plan. Had an Angel not stepped up, Noni's rear leg would have been immediately amputated. Noni received her own personal Angel to foster her, and thus her long journey began. Once at the vet specialist, surgery was done to treat both legs, and the rear leg had the most extensive surgery with plates and screws to put Noni back together again. After many months of multiple surgeries and several ups and downs during the lengthy recovery process, Noni has recovered nicely, she still has all four legs, and no more plates and screws! She was the most perfect patient, always with a sweet, happy disposition. She never seemed to have a down day, even though at times, she was probably very uncomfortable and in a lot of pain. Noni is crate trained, house broken, and just about darn near perfect. She does get very excited, but she will settle down. She loves toys, particularly her chew toys. She also loves to go on walks, although she still pulls a bit on leash. Because she gets excited and likes to jump right now, she would most likely knock little ones down accidentally, so she might be a better fit right now for children 8+ years old. She rides very well and calmly in a car. She seems to love everything and everybody: people, other dogs. She has never met a stranger. She is working very hard to co-exist peacefully with the resident cat who is very calm around dogs; she is interested and wants to play, but she is easily redirected. She is very food and treat motivated. A home with a fenced back yard would probably be best so that she can run around, and then collapse when tired to chew on one of her toys.
