Maude

The Smith-Kinley transport came to us from Niagara Falls! Joyful Rescues feels strongly that, because of the drastic dog overpopulation problem that resulted due to human behavior during the pandemic, that we must do the responsible thing and focus our efforts in our own western NY region. The population problem has also created an environment ripe for increased animal hoarding when good hearted humans take on more than they have the resources to care for them which is the case for the 9 dogs and 3 cats that arrived here in pretty rough shape. A few of the dogs have no teeth and the others will need a dental, which we will do for them, and with this much neglect they will likely need a second dental in the near future so we want to be sure, if you choose to open your home to one of them, that you will be prepared for this cost. Everyone's nails were overgrown, and the longer haired ones were terribly matted and even had some twigs embedded in the mats. Any donations toward their care would surely be appreciated. Some of them are a bit shy at first, but they've been through a lot and we feel given a bit of time they will be the loves of your life! Maude was born about November 21, 2015 and weighs about ____ lbs. Maude is terribly sweet and is loving the human attention. She is extremely good with the other dogs and the cats and did very well on the two-hour car ride here. We don't know about house training and until we can update with that information, we want to let you know there will likely be some work in that area and potty floor pads are always a good idea for these tiny dogs. We have noticed some age appropriate cloudiness/nuclear sclerosis in her eyes vet notes indicate that she had a nose job (stenotic nares) in 2019, there was once a dog scuffle that resulted in an ear hematoma that resolved on its own, and there is a pee size hairless mass that was fine needle aspirated that was determined to likely be a benign growth. and we'd like to let you know about this which we can't put into layman's terms so maybe talk to your vet. 'Right side inguinal mammary gland 1-2 cm long 2-3 mm tick cord like possible nodule not appreciable on the contralateral side'. So, this is Maude and she's been wonderful with all of us, yet we did see some high value treat possessiveness to another dog. The Adoption Fee for this dog is $_450.00_.
