Story
Nyx came to us as a surrender with hydrocephalus. She was the runt of the litter and was having a hard time eating and surviving with her littermates. We took her in and we were able to get her to eat and our vet evaluated her - diagnosis confirmed of hydrocephalus but no treatment needed. She also has an under developed left eye that we aren't sure if she can see out of - if she can it's most likely just shadows. Nyx is different. I don't know how to put it other than that (in the spirit of full disclosure). Her "wires are crossed". I think the hydrocephalus has affected her in ways that I will explain here: She loves other dogs but doesn't know how to "play" with them. She will jump on them and bite them trying to get them to play with her. But when it's naptime or bedtime she will cuddle up and sleep on them. I think she enjoys their company but doesn't know how to effectively communicate with them. She will let you pick her up on her terms. She doesn't bite or even try to bite you but will run when you are trying to get her to pick her up (she will come to you when she wants to). She is a very sweet, lovely dog who is "special" in her own way and I know she will make someone very happy! Someone who can love something special and accept her just the way she is. If you would like to learn more about Nyx, please fill out an application and I would be happy to speak with you about her. You can find our app at www.goofyfootrescue.org Nyx is in foster in West TN

Story
Laci is probably one of "the sweetest and bestest" girls ever! She is lowkey and loves being a couch potato. When Laci gets a burst of energy, she likes to play with toys and interact with her foster siblings. She does require a daily medication which costs approximately $15 per month. Laci must have a fence in yard since she likes to meander about! If you would like to add Lace to your forever family, please go to goofyfootrescue.org and fill out an application.
