Story
Sweetheart Poppy is a 6 year old, 12 lb Papillon mix who somehow ended up as a stray at the shelter. Despite that, she is a very happy, cheerful, and young at heart little girl. Poppy does well with other dogs and loves being close to her people. She will happily “pop” up when she wants to be picked up and cuddled. In the evenings, she enjoys relaxing on her own chair or curling up in bed with her person. She is house trained with a dog door, quiet in the home, and an easy companion. Poppy does not chew and is not destructive. The only time she gets vocal is during playful wrestling with her dog friends. Poppy is still working on her leash skills and will benefit from some gentle practice, but her sweet nature and loving personality make her a delight. If you are looking for a small, affectionate companion with a joyful spirit, Poppy may be the perfect addition to your home.

Story
03/06/26 13:13 Oreo is a very senior male castrated papillon mix in need of rescue or a committed senior dog adopter. He needs a soft place to land!Medical conditions:- Oreo has stage 2 (out of 4) chronic renal disease based on his labwork. - Oreo also came into the shelter with many missing teeth and very severe end-stage periodontal disease at his 15 remaining teeth. He has a chronic pathologic fracture at the left mid-mandible from tooth root abcesses destroying bone beneath it. Medical team removed his 15 remaining teeth. He eats well despite his left mandibular instability. - Oreo has muscle wasting, likely from his age and from his kidney disease- Oreo has medial patellar luxation in both knees (grade 2/4) with crepitus suggesting some secondary arthritis in the knees. - Oreo may have reduced vision - sometimes he has difficulty finding his way about his kennel. We suspect early cataracts.- Oreo has a very focal (subtle) heart murmur - grade 2/4. Recommendations- Will need prescription kidney wet food diet lifelong (NF, K/D or Royal Canin Renal)- Will need routine labwork every 3-6 months or as recommended by adopters/rescues primary care veterinarian to monitor kidney values- May need chronic pain management for arthritis/knee-cap disease. NSAID-type medications are typically contraindicated in renal disease patients unless carefully guided by veterinarian.- Heart check by a vet at least every 6 months, and may eventually need echocardiogram or chest x-rays if murmur becomes more prominent or patient develops cough or exercise intolerance
