Even the kiddos! She has met children with ages ranging from 10 months- 10 years and she was calm, gentle and respectful)<br/><br/>Daily walks to soak in the sunshine, sniff, and observe her surroundings.<br/>(Dandelion fields are her favorite!)<br/><br/>Benebones, Mumbies chews, and is a fan of enrichment games/toys such as woof pupsicles, sniffle mats, etc.,<br/> <br/>Her stuffed animal friends and blankets! (BarkBox stuffies are her favorite especially her Flamingo stuffie!)<br/> <br/>Housebroken: Yes, can be left out to free roam- good indoor<br/>manners (let out a few x/day for potty breaks- will look at you near her exit door<br/>to get your attention that she would like to go out.)<br/><br/>Crate trained: Yes, but prefers to snuggle on the couch or bed or near a window to soak up some rays<br/><br/>Medical Journey:<br/>Ada was diagnosed with an idiopathic anemia condition and received a blood<br/>transfusion in Feb 2025. She has since improved and her blood cell counts are holding stable. To ensure she remains on this path, her current diet plan (more info below) must be followed and her blood levels must be checked frequently. <br/><br/>She also had an injury to her CCL ligament in her left knee in the summer of 2025. After consulting with our medical team, we agreed that surgery was not recommended due to her immunocompromised state, but with rest and red-light therapy, Ada has healed well. (Shorter walks along with plenty of rest will help to prevent any new injury as well as limiting stairs as much as possible)<br/><br/><br/>Diet Plan:<br/>Her diet includes a mix of Fromm kibble with raw from Steve's Real Food as well as supplements from Standard Process and other immune/gut/joint support supplementation.<br/><br/>Medications & Supplements:<br/>Daily Cosequin OR Dasuquin (joint support)<br/>Omega-3s<br/>Bener Pro-Red iron supplement chew (essential)<br/>Dog Is Human multivitamin<br/>Standard Process supplements (hepatic/adrenal/immune support)<br/>Wholistic brand Digest all probiotic/prebiotic powder<br/>Immunosuppressant medication every other day indefinitely<br/><br/>Vaccines: Ada is medically exempt from any and all vaccines due to her immunocompromised state/health condition. (Titer testing was completed for<br/>rabies and proved immunity via blood test). A medical exemption letter has been provided by Ada's Veterinarian <br/><br/>Preventative: Ada receives a monthly heartworm prevention supplement called Ivermectin, NO flea/tick medications can be administered due to her condition <br/><br/>Ideal home:<br/>Ada must be in an ONLY DOG HOME- she loves to steal all your attention and be the center of your world- trust us, she's worth it!<br/>She'd love to find a family who is patient with her dog reactivity and knows to respect her space when it comes to other furry friends, who understands her lifestyle, medical history and diagnosis of idiopathic anemia and is willing to continue her raw diet and supplementation routine to keep her immune system strong and her health improving. And a family ready and willing to give her love, structure, and continued positive reinforcement training.<br/><br/>Her perfect day looks like...<br/>A sunrise stroll (gotta catch those first light rays)<br/>A comfy couch for an afternoon nap<br/>Some daily enrichment (sniffle mat, pupsicle)<br/>A good movie- did someone say Paw Patrol Marathon?<br/>Endless snuggles- preferably next to you (or on your lap)<br/><br/><br/>*Winston's Wishes is a force free, positive reinforcement rescue. Aversive training of any kind, or techniques involving prong, choke, or shock collars is prohibited.<br/><br/>*Please note - Homes with children. We always recommend the proper supervision be available at all times, with all dogs. For the safety of everyone in the home, please never leave your child alone with your pup unsupervised.
