Lacy's Story

? Adoption Spotlight: Lacy ?<br/><br/>Lacy’s story is one of resilience. This 12–15-year-old long-haired Chihuahua came to us from a neglect case and has been searching for her chance at a safe, loving home. At under 10 lbs, she may be small in size, but she’s full of personality and spunk.<br/>After completing her senior bloodwork, our vet determined that Lacy is not a suitable candidate for spay surgery due to her age and overall health. She is now medically cleared for adoption and is on prednisone once a day, which she will most likely need for the rest of her life.<br/><br/>Lacy is:<br/>?? Rabies, Bordetella, Distemper, and Lepto vaccinated, and microchipped<br/>?? Sweet and cuddly with people, though she can be bossy and growly around other dogs<br/>?? Reported to do fine with kids in her previous foster home<br/>?? Likely dealing with a trachea issue (causing a light cough), though her heart and lungs sound good according to our vet<br/>Lacy is not potty trained and does mark her territory, but with patience and management (like belly bands or frequent trips outside), she can still thrive in a home setting.<br/><br/>This little lady needs an adopter who understands senior dogs, is patient with her quirks, and will give her the comfort she deserves in her golden years. ?<br/><br/>?
