Story
Hi, my name is Mimi and I am from Arkansas!
From the foster:
Mimi identifies as a middle-aged millennial lady. She doesn't want to go to breweries, meet tons of new people, or go hiking. She just wants to be entertained by the backyard chickens, complain about the goings on of neighbors, sing (bark/yell) soprano even if no one is listening, appreciates her personal space sometimes, eat food prepared juuust the way she likes (canned on top please), not be controlled (leashes are terrifying), not be told what to do or when to do it (not potty trained), have freedom (of a securely fenced yard), try to regain her confidence (hoarding trauma), have a great doctor to support her newly discovered/progressing skin & joint issues, have a hysterectomy (who needs a uterus anyway), get her teeth fixed (goodbye dental tartar appearing as supermodel-esk cheek bones), cuddle up and watch Netflix, and most importantly share all of her love and affection with someone special.
From the Vet:
Mimi came to us with a few health issues, but none preventing her from being a wonderful addition to her new forever family!
She came from a situation under less than ideal conditions and we have found that she deals with some generalized allergies/itch. This is being managed with a daily medication that adopters should plan to take over managing with a primary care vet.
She will be getting her spay and dental surgery at the end of July after which she will be in recovery (low activity and possibly soft food diet temporarily) for about 2 weeks.
Following the spay and dental we will address an orthopedic issue that has worsened since coming into rescue. She has bilateral MPL's or medical luxating patella. This means her knees slide out of place and don't return to a normal position causing pain and lameness. It can be surgically corrected, so in partnership with a board-certified orthopedic surgery team, TBB will agree to cover 2 surgeries + 1 round of meds and 1 recheck as determined necessary by The BB RMT. Recovery for these surgeries will be about 4-6 weeks of administering pain meds as needed, exercise restriction, physical therapy at home, and a slow return to normal activity.
