We
do enjoy a car ride as long as we are together. We would love to go on walks
and meet new people. We are very good with other dogs that live in our foster home. If
you had kids to visit we would do well with them also. We love to cuddle up
and sit on your lap or lay next to you. When we go to sleep we must have our
bone with us just to lay with but don't worry we like to sleep under the bed
but must have a bone in order to settle down for the night and go to sleep. The
potty training is going very well. I think as long as you gave us our favorite
treat when we came in which is a peanut butter dog treat from Trader Joe's we
would be well on our way to being even better about our potty training.
A dog door would be nice for going outside and we enjoy lounging in the
sunshine. We are also free fed so you don't have to worry about us eating
too much at one time we do not over eat our dry dog food.
Great home for two great dogs, residing in Seattle, WA
(Adopted March 21/08)
Jessica
Female/spayed/shots current
16 months old
10 lbs
Jessie is such a sweet adorable little girl, who loves to play. She gets
along with other small dogs and cats. She is shy when she meets new
people, but she warms up quickly, she is just a little coy and unsure. She
is doing well on housetraining, just needs more one on one...she will warm your
heart, and will be such an endearing lil companion. She is a treasure..and
once you spend time with her, you will be in love.
Jess has a wonderful new Mommy, and older Lhasa friend, she is absolutely
adored, "thank you Jackie" residing in Mukilteo, WA
(Adopted March 23/08)
Update: Furbaby Rescue wants to thank EVERYONE for their generous support
for Misty. We are all so grateful, her bills were paid...and because of
you, we can help save more and more...
*Sweet Misty is on her journey to the
bridge, she had congestive heart failure Feb.28/15*
Update from the new
parents:
Misty came to our
house last Friday (March 21/08) and has ask to stay forever! She
really likes her new family of Moms Gretchen and Jennifer, brothers Kaiser
and Paris who are rescued pit bulls and Lugnut the pit
bull/mastiff mix foster dog. Although she is being spoiled she is also
learning the rules of the house that apply to everyone.
She loves to go
and the sight of her leash makes her start dancing on her tip toes!
She has been so many places already. Also my clients love her and
she is able to travel with me many days out of the week.
Misty is doing great
with her mouth. She will have a check up with our wonderful vet to
follow up on her healing and begin a monitoring program. She saw her
groomer today who will also help us watch for any changes.
Misty is very
grateful to all of you for your generosity and care. We would like to
thank you too! For now we will all just settle in but soon we will
find out if Misty wants to become a therapy dog (we think she will) and get
out there and make people smile! If any dog would be good at therapy
it would be Misty!
Thank You for all
your love and support!
"Hi, my name is
Misty. I do not usually look this sad. I am a happy girl who loves everyone and
dances when I see my friends. I love to play with my doggie friends and even
with my cat friend. I am an avid walker and stop to greet everyone I meet on the
street. If you stop long enough to pet me I love to roll over for belly rubs. I
am just a little confused right now about all the changes that have been going
on.”
Misty came into our
rescue a couple of months ago, she had a huge tumor growing in front part of her
lower right jaw. Our vet removed the tumor and biopsied it. The good news
was that it was a benign tumor and chances were good that it would not grow
back.
Misty went to a new
home but after Christmas some of her teeth seemed loose and her new Mom took her
to the vet. The tumor was not only back but it had grown
and spread through the bone and erupted by both of her lower canine teeth.
Her Mom was not able to afford the cost of the surgery the vet told her Misty
needed and sadly her she returned Misty to Furbaby.
Misty has a nasty
epulis tumor,
which is benign. These tumors if caught early can be removed and there is
success. In Misty's case, when we got her, we were not fortunate. Our vet
has looked at the new x-rays, and there is a significant change. He is
planning to do the surgery on Misty and she will lose much of her lower jaw. Hopefully
after her recovery she can find a home with a family who can not only help this
loving brave little girl live a normal life but can afford any other vet care
that she may need.
The cost for the surgery
will be in excess of $1000 or more, we don't know for sure, and how extensive it
will be.
She needs your help, we need your help. We are asking if you can find it
in your heart to help us, help her...
Thank you, and Misty thanks you. It will be a very painful procedure, but
we are going to be optimistic on her recovery, this girl is so sweet she melts
your heart.
Feb. 3/08:
Misty had her surgery on Feb.1/08, she lost a significant amount of her lower jaw, our
vet. Dr. Kevin Erickson, with the consultation of the dental specialist at
WSU,performed the difficult surgery. After surgery there was significant
swelling, which was to be expected. Lil Misty is a trouper, right now she
is eating food that is shaped into little meatballs, and immediately she took to
this. The only time the staff heard Misty, was when she decided she wanted
attention, tired of her kennel confinement...showing us, that her wonderful
loving nature prevails strong, even in this time of horrible pain.
Feb.4/08: I
picked up Misty from the vet, she trotted out, with tail up, and to see her
little tongue now hanging out, it only adds to her sweetness. She greeted all
strangers with a smile. I was told by someone who had spent time with her,
if you could just hold her for a few minutes, everyone would understand why we
are fighting to help her, she touches everyone she meets. She is back in
her foster home, on pain medication, the foster Mom will watch for abnormal
swelling, and keep her comfortable. She will need to go back in 3 weeks
for recheck, stitches out, and we PRAY and please everyone PRAY with us, that
the tumor does not return. If so, she may have to have radiation
treatment.
To date, with her first surgery and now this one, her bills have exceeded
$2000...but believe me when I say, she is worth it.
Feb.7/08:
Stoic lil Misty is continuing to do well, eating her meatball supper, relaxing
and sleeping in her lil bed, prancing for her foster Mom. Her mouth is
being monitored closely, there was some more swelling, but it has gone down
again. So far now, all is well..she continues on antibiotics and pain
meds, even though she is not exhibiting pain, her quietness is a strong
indication that she is uncomfortable.
Feb.8/08:
Foster Mom noticed after she was licking her paws that there was some blood,
sure enough, a couple of stitches had come out. She was taken to the vet
to have them redone.
Feb. 17/08:
Misty has decided she doesn't want to eat her
meatball dinner anymore. She has always loved kibble, so foster Mom,
soften the kibble just a bit, and she is happy, happy and more happy. She
will be going in for her stitches soon, so lets hope there is a good report at
that time.
Feb.23/08:
Misty had her stitches removed, and it looks FANTASTIC, she had a slight
swelling from the stitches (which is a normal reaction). She is the
favorite of the vet staff, she just laid down, and simply allowed the removal
without a peep. The vet is"confident" that the tumor will not
return, with the amount of jaw removed, and several x-rays, he feels good about
her outcome. Again time will tell, but at this time, he feels she is going
to be just fine. And now Misty can go back to eating her kibble that she
so loves, and is on the road to being a normal lil girl again. Currently
she is still sleeping more then normal, but this was a major surgery, and her
body is still catching up.
Now we are starting to look for a new home for this very special girl, we are
looking for a home, who will watch her, and take care of her...we will always be
here for this girl, but she so deserves a home that can give her more then we
can in foster care..where she is not one of many, where she is the
Princess...and I promise you, once you meet her, you will understand what all
the fuss is about.
If interested in adopting, please email Furbaby
Rescue. Thank you everyone, without you, we could not continue.
A very special thank you for your help to:
