Story
Sweet Pea is a senior, female, Boston Terrier who weighs about 23 pounds. She turned 14 on March 17th. As her name implies, she is a such a good, sweet girl, and seems to get along with the other dogs that she has met. She is house trained and potty trained and loves to play with her toys, chew on treats, and enjoy a comfortable spot to lay. She is losing her hearing and her sight, but she adapts very well.
Sweet Pea is very social and loves to be around her humans (or any humans that want to hang with her!). She is a little shadow following her people around the house and wants to be where the activity is. She is not super cuddly, but she does like to stay close by. She also likes going for car rides and visiting new places and people and eating all the treats!
Sweet Pea has been with her brother Mr. T for a little over a year. While they aren’t “bonded”, they do enjoy each other’s company and are going through this major life transition of needing a new home, so we are hoping to find a home where they can stay together!
Sweet Pea is spayed, microchipped, HW negative, and up to date on vaccines. She does have a high grade heart murmur. We do have access to a few years of vet records for her, and are happy to answer any questions that we are able to about her. She is not currently on any daily medications.
While in foster care, she did have a biopsy of a large lump which was diagnosed as an intermediate grade Soft Tissue Sarcoma. She had a very severe reaction to the sedation where her heart stopped, so she is not a candidate to have it removed or to be sedated again. She is also being monitored for any additional seizure activity - as she had a few immediately after her heart stopped and at this time has had one additional one in her foster home. We will be sure to provide any updated information that we learn to interested applicants and answer all the questions that we can. She is such a sweet and special girl, and deserves the best golden years! She does need a home that knows she has some conditions that will need monitored for progression.
If you are interested in potentially meeting Sweet Pea and Mr. T - please fill out the adoption application available at www.texassweetiesdogrescue.org . The combined adoption fee for the pair - Mr. T and Sweet Pea - is $300.
