This sweet senior teacup Poodle is available for adoption!   Miss Puppy was rescued from a crowded Mexican shelter where she was being given no attention. Literally, she was just saved from the street, and lay quietly in a corner.   When ARWOB first met her, both her hair and nails were severely overgrown, she was dirty, had severe dental issues and was not spayed. Also, Miss Puppy is totally blind. She also has bilateral MPL Grade 4 which means that her kneecaps are out of place all the time, and there is no amount of manipulation that can return them to their proper spot. She can certainly walk, but her gait is stiff. Surgical repair for grade 4 is not a guarantee to be fixed and given her age is not an option. She has no problem moving around her environment and enjoys moving around.Because she relies on her nose for navigation, she also has her head down when she walks. Or maybe she’s just trolling for dropped food!    Since she was first rescued, she’s had professional grooming, a dental and spay surgery, and is thriving even with her limitations. She has lived the entire time in a home with another dog and a cat. She gets along with both very well, and has mapped the house. She can find her food, water and all available dog beds with no problem. She has a healthy appetite, and scarfs her twice a day meals. She has been on CBD for her gait issues and Senilife as a preventative, since she is getting older.   Miss Puppy knows where her potty spot is outside the doggy door. When the doggy door is closed, she wears a diaper. She also wears one overnight since she has no access to the outside. It has been wet once or twice, but is mostly dry. She has not had a poop accident in the house. She goes potty every 2-3 hours when she can.   Miss Puppy’s favorite thing is to be near her human. She snuggles up to people, and can sleep in that spot happily for hours. She also loves to mount pillows on the couch to get up to her “lookout” position on the couch’s arm, but has never attempted to step off. She is always supervised when she does this.   This dog has so much life and love left in her. She needs a loving, understanding home that will be patient as she learns her way around. Gentle and non-reactive dog and cats would make great friends.   Adopt Miss Puppy!  To do so, please fill out an online application at www.arwob.org to get the process started right away.
