Meet Carbie,

In November I found this pup in a busy intersection she was not microchipped and nobody claimed her - I posted her everywhere at least 2X. She had fleas, has clearly had at least two litters of puppies at some point and was very timid initially. It took three baths just to get the dirt stains off her stomach. Her canines and molars were almost entirely brown from plaque - which has cleared up just by eating kibble. Her paws were hard and flat and looked glossy. She flinched at the sight of dog toys and wouldn’t even take a chicken foot treat. You couldn’t even tell her “no” without her making herself tiny as if she were preparing to get hit. 

Since finding her she’s been spayed, treated for a severe UTI, put on flea prevention and is up to date on her vaccines. After her boosters this week, she should soon be good to be adopted. I don’t feel I have the knowledge it takes to vet potential homes for her and would like the help of a rescue. 

Pics of Carb and friends for tax. 

About her for those who care: 

The vet guessed her to be about 3-4 years old, she does great with my cats (she wouldn’t even look at them for the first few weeks) and does very well with my two dogs. She doesn’t understand personal space when you’re lounging around lol. When it comes time for food I have my dogs wait to eat until each is given their command and honestly she is the best at “waiting.” She also knows sit, down, touch, is crate trained, potty trained and we have been working on her emergency recall using the word that my other pups use. The ONLY time she had an accident inside is the day after she first arrived and she hadn’t yet learned to use the bells. That’s also when I found out how rancid a UTI could smell which is what prompted the initial vet visit. 

Shes very sweet and deserves the best home. She weirdly loves when we go to the vet. She will even allow you to trim her nails as long as you give her a periodic belly pat. 

The bad, she gets very excited and jumpy when new people come around but she does calm down eventually and has done very well with my nieces and nephews who are as young as two years old. She currently has to be tethered when let outside to do business because she CAN and probably WILL scale a regular height chain link fence within seconds. Luckily my dogs are never outside without supervision, unluckily she had the nerve to do it in front of me lol. She also shouldn’t be free fed because she will eat her food in two bites - I’m not even sure she chews honestly so gets a slow feeder. 

Does anybody know of any dog rescues to contact that allow finder fosters until adopted??
