Story
I am looking for a temp foster from 9/14-9/22!
I am getting spayed and looking for a place to recover.
If you can help out, please email fostersupport@thebondbetween.org
Hi, my name is CJ and I am from Arkansas!
From the foster:
C.J. is an adorable, charming, smart, fun little bundle of love. She will always bring a smile to your face.
Some of CJ's favorite activities include: Being near her person/people, exploring the backyard, dog buggy stroller rides in the neighborhood, car rides, and cuddling with her person/people. She has recently discovered toys and play, which has been wonderful to observe.
CJ is currently working on being house trained and she has made some good progress, but will need a patient caregiver to help her and to provide frequent potty breaks.
Given her clever nature and adventurous spirit, she would benefit from having a secure, fenced yard, or careful leash management. She does not like to be alone for extended periods of time, and can be vocal, so shared walls may not be the best fit for her. A home with no children or older, considerate children would be best.
Overall, CJ is a loving, delightful pup who would warm your home with her presence.
From the vet:
CJ had been diagnosed with a grade 4/6 left sided heart murmur and chronic degenerative valve disease. This means that the valves in her heart do not seal completely and blood can leak backward instead of moving forward causing the heart to pump a bit harder. She is currently being managed with a medication called Pimobendan, which can aid in delaying onset of further heart conditions in dogs with valve disease. Because of this heart condition, CJ has experienced syncopal or collapsing events where she temporarily becomes weak. These events are brief and uncommon, but future adopters should be aware that they may continue as she ages. Her heart condition is currently stable and future adopters should continue to monitor it with their primary veterinarian.
When CJ arrived to rescue she also had very significant dental disease. As a result, she has had numerous teeth removed. Her remaining teeth have been cleaned. Routine dental care would be recommended for her going forward including teeth brushing.
CJ has also been diagnosed with medially luxating patellas. This means that her knee caps slip out of place on occasion. This is common for her breed and is not currently affecting her mobility. Maintaining an ideal body weight will be important for her as she ages to maintain good mobility.
