Butterball

Meet Butterball, an 8-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier. Butterball was found alone in a yard, actively losing blood, collapsing, and gasping for air. She was rushed to the emergency vet, where her doctor worked quickly to stabilize her and uncover the cause: a ruptured mammary mass. Even more heartbreaking, she was newly postpartum. During her life-saving medical intervention, her doctor discovered she had been struggling with an elongated soft palate, which likely contributed to her fainting and difficulty breathing during such a painful and stressful ordeal.<br/><br/>Fast forward to today, and Butterballs story has completely changed course. Her ruptured mass was removed and the best news of all: no cancer. Shes now fully medically cleared, breathing comfortably (BOAS surgery completed too!), and officially retired from motherhood forever (spayed!).<br/><br/>Little Miss Butterball has shown everyone just how special she is. She loves attention, enjoys exploring on walks, and is always excited to meet new dog pals. Naps are a must and she'll happily cozy up to her bed for an afternoon snooze. Shes great with dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as kids ages 8+. She was even fostered with a cat!<br/><br/>crate trained (though no sep related behaviors observed so hasn't been crated) / house trained / easy on leash / SUCH A FRIGGIN LOVE!
