Morgan

UPDATE: MORGAN HAS FOUND HER FOREVER HOME WITH HER FOSTER FAMILY!!! Morgan is a 4 yr old adult flashy fawn female with natural ears and cropped tail.. A few years ago she was hit by a car and seriously injured. She had a broken hip, some spinal damage, and damage to her vision. She was not taken in for veterinary care, so her hip and everything else healed like it was. It doesn't seem to bother her, she just walks with a funny gait periodically. She does have some rear end weakness that seems to show up on slippery floors. When she's outside, she can run like the wind and you'd NEVER know she had any problems at all. She just kicks one hind leg out every now and then when she's tearing around the yard. She has been diagnosed with Spondylosis at L-7 to S-1. This would account for the occasional weakness. She is currently on Prednisone to reduce inflammation.

Initially we were told that she was mostly blind. We have found that she actually has fairly good vision. She can follow your fingers, her pupils dilate, she runs to the window to see one of us drive away etc. The only time we've noticed anything is when she bumped her nose on the glass front door. She also seems to have trouble deciding how far away things are. So we believe she has an issue with depth perception. It does not effect her running around the yard or playing in the house. We don't know if this too is a result of the accident or not, but we think it is.

She is very sweet, quite small, has learned to adapt to her disabilities and gets around just fine. She is incredibly THIN right now and desperately needs to put some weight on. Her waist is so tiny you'd think it could just break in half. You can see every bone in his spine, ribs, hips etc. I tried to capture it in pictures, but there is no way to really see how thin this girl is unless it is in person. We are working hard at putting weight on. Her pink "bling" collar is so big, you can see where she used to wear it at one time, so this weight loss is relatively new. Her family did fall on extremely hard times and that is why she was surrendered. It was certainly in her best interest.

Morgan needs a home that will just simply LOVE her. She is a gentle, sweet soul, that loves to tuck her muzzle into your neck or between your arm and body and just nuzzle you. Her eyes are soulful and loving. She is so grateful for every ounce of love and care. She is an easy going girl that just needs a low key household. She'd be a great dog to take to work with you or just hang out with you at home. She is house trained, crate trained and walks nicely on a leash. She is gentle with children and playful with other dogs, although she shouldn't be roughhousing with other dogs. Maybe a home with a dog that is similar in activity level would be best.

Morgan will be available for adoption after April 23rd. We have access to xrays and veterinary records for anyone that is interested in learning more about her. Her adoption donation will be $175.00.

Jackson

Jackson is a three year old male reverse brindle with natural ears and a cropped tail. He's a big old sweetheart that is scared of just about everything right now. He's never lived indoors, so this is a new experience for him.

He is currently fostering in the Black Hills with two boxer females and two adorable human girls that get his little nub a wagging. He has a pitifully sad face with his droopy eyes, but he comes out of it and is a playful sweetheart.

During his transport he spenth is time nuzzling our ears and snooping about the vehicle looking for treats. While in foster, he will be house, crate and leash trained. He will learn basic obedience and will have all of his vetting completed. He will become available after the 28th of April, but we may decide that he needs more time in foster. Jackson's adoption donation is $250.00.
