Kizzy's Story
Kizzy came to us at 5 years old from a shelter. They'd contacted us for help because they felt she needed and deserved more than they could provide and had grown to love her. <br/>She's belonged to a woman who had spent time being homeless off and on and had finally died young. This left poor Kizzy without the resources to treat her allergies and then eventually homeless. Her skin and hair were damaged by years of no reliable or effective treatment. We have since gotten her in much better condition, spayed her to regulate her hormonal fluctuations that may have contributed to it, and treated her with daily apoquel to reduce itchiness. She's doing quite well now, but there hasn't been much hair regrowth to date. It could happen over time but it's also possible she will remain with the hairloss over a large percentage of her body. It's cosmetic at this point, but we understand this may not be the look most Scottie applicants are looking for. <br/>But, if you can see past that, Kizzy is a happy, lively little girl, who loves to play and is a good companion. She can keep herself entertained, and loves to sleep under the covers in bed with you. She's not that great with other dogs, although she's living with 3 other small dogs, so should probably be an only dog in her forever home. She will need to continue the daily allergy pill but that is the only medication she needs. She's been spayed, vaccinated, had great bloodwork, heartworm/lyme tested negative, and more. <br/>Kizzy did not get what she needed for the majority of her life, through no fault of her own. Despite all she's gone through, she is full of love and a loyal friend. If you can find it in your heart to right that wrong, and share your heart and home with her, she's someone who deserves that opportunity.<br/>For more details, please contact Erica Cerny at ecerny@optonline.net or 973-361-6790. Foster location is Saugerties, NY.
