Elle

**We do not ship. Adopter must come to Utah to adopt** REQUIREMENTS: Someone home much of the time. Kids ok. Dogs ok. Cats ok. Adopter must be ok with Elle’s permanent incontinence and must be willing to have her wear a diaper for the rest of her life. Cute Elle is 7 months old and a cute Frenchton, a French Bulldog/Boston Terrier mix. She weighs about 16 lbs and likely won’t get much bigger. Elle came into rescue after her family who loved her very much realized they could not care for her special needs. Elle was born without a urethral sphincter. This means she cannot control her urine. Sadly this is a genetic defect and there is nothing that can be done. Surgery is not an option and medications for incontinence work by tightening the sphincter so since she doesn’t have one they won’t work. Other that that she is healthy, was recently spayed, is up to date on shots and microchipped. She is doing well on her housetraining learning to poop outside! But she will always have to wear a diaper when she’s inside as she has zero control over her bladder and leaks urine constantly. What this means is she will need frequent diaper changes and to be kept very clean with wipes so she doesn’t get urinary tract infections. She is good about her diaper changes and is no trouble. She barks very little, loves to play with other dogs and loves her fosters toddler daughter. She is a sweet, happy girl who just has some special needs. She is crate trained and sleeps well in her crate at night. She LOVES to play with other dogs and would love a doggie playmate in her forever home!
