AVAILABLE SATURDAY 4/19.
Cotton Candy came our way when one of our transfer partners took in 60+ dogs from one household in a hoarding case.
She will be available for adoption on Saturday, 4/19.
COTTON CANDY (white, female, 15 pounds, age ~2, a poodle-somethin’-somethin’): Candy is one of the more outgoing of the four dogs we transferred in. She is friendly and sweet, has been good with other dogs, and is very appropriate with Bubba, our resident cat. While being spayed Wednesday, Candy also had surgery for a hematoma (a benign blood-filled swelling on the ear flap). Her adopter will be sent home with care instructions. Candy is non-shedding and will require professional grooming every couple months.
It’s important to be aware that dogs from hoarding situations can come with a bit of emotional baggage. While none of the dogs from this case appears to have been physically abused or neglected, and all were of fairly good weight, living in one home with 60+ dogs and only a couple humans means that they didn’t have an opportunity to receive one-on-one attention. They are not housetrained and their adopters will need to start that process from scratch. They do not show any interest in toys. They have never walked on a leash and will need to be taught if you’re not planning to carry them on all outings (vet appointments, etc.).
That said, we believe these girls will make truly excellent pets and wonderful companions to their new people.
