Catarina

My story

Catarina's story: Meet Cata - she is a tough little survivor with unforgettable golden eyes. Cata is a gorgeous mixed-breed girl (43 lbs and about 2 1/2 years old) who looks like a mini Weimaraner. She survived the streets of Puerto Peasco/Rocky Point, Mexico, and despite everything she's been through, she has become one of the sweetest, most affectionate fosters we've ever had. I'm Cynthia. I first saw Cata last March, limping down a busy road in obvious pain. She had likely been hit by a car, and her left front leg was badly affected. Since then, she has had x-rays, a CT scan, and evaluations from four veterinarians. The consensus is clear: although her leg has neurological damage and her elbow doesn't sit quite in line, surgery isn't recommended because she functions beautifully as she is. She does limp, and she will need daily medication for life, but she lives a happy, active, high-functioning life with absolutely no loss of spirit. And what a fun spirit she has! With medical care, training and months of safety and love, Cata has blossomed. She is playful, affectionate and behaves wonderfully with our pack. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, house trained and ready to live her best life. Now she deserves one more thing: a forever family who sees how special she is. I would happily keep her myself, but with three rescues already'| well, I'd like to stay married! What I can promise is this: Cata will give you joy every single day. She will ask for snuggles, belly rubs and love and she will repay you with loyalty, gratitude and those incredible eyes looking at you like you hung the moon. I am happy to transport her to her new home and will include a month of her medication. Cata is ready for 'forever.' Are you ready for her? Please share her story far and wide.
