MAMAS

My story

Mamas is a cute little dog that has a disease where her immune system is attacking her joints. Her paws and legs are extremely deformed. The best way to pick her up was to gently fold her bed around her like a taco and carry her outside to potty. She was very defensive to people and other dogs. The clinic worked to get her pain meds adjusted and she then started taking an interest in life but wanted absolutely no affection. It was a long road but she gradually over many months decided that pets and scratches are okay. She is now a little love bug for me. Just last month she asked my husband for some affection for the first time. She is still very protective of her bed but I`ve noticed lately that she likes hanging out with the pack and helping them bark at whatever. Her personality is cute and sassy! Mamas no longer needs carried. She resists being picked up. She is obedient but is very independent and wants to travel at her own pace. Mamas will need pain meds for the rest of her life. She gets Gabapentin, Cyclosporine and supplements that I believe helps her quality of life. Mamas is extremely shy of strangers. I think the best home for Mamas will be quiet with older people and no young kids or large dogs. They will need A LOT of patience and will want a baby that will need TLC for the rest of her life. She will never be a lap dog but we love her and she will always have a place in our home and with our pack if she doesn`t get adopted.
