Oma's Story
<p>Meet Oma!</p><br/><br/><div class="xdj266r x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs x126k92a"><br/><br/><div dir="auto">On May 22nd of this year, we received a plea about an extremely overweight dog118 pounds, to be exactwho had been confiscated by a shelter. We love a challenge, so we welcomed her with open arms and named her Oma.</div><br/><br/></div><br/><br/><div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><br/><br/><div dir="auto">We immediately had her tested for diabetes, thyroid issues, and Cushing's to rule out any medical cause for her condition. Every single test came back perfect. Oma wasn't sickshe was simply severely overweight. Her target weight was estimated to be around 6570 pounds.</div><br/><br/></div><br/><br/><div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><br/><br/><div dir="auto">So her foster mom got right to work. Oma started a healthy diet, gentle walks to the best of her ability, and semi-weekly weigh-ins. On top of all this, Oma was also heartworm positive. She needed to lose the weight before she could even begin treatment, so a careful plan was put into motion.</div><br/><br/></div><br/><br/><div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><br/><br/><div dir="auto">Fast forward six months and what a transformation.</div><br/><br/><div dir="auto">Oma now weighs 69 poundsjust about five pounds from her ideal goaland she has completed her heartworm treatment like an absolute champion. She runs, she walks, and she is truly happy in a way she never got to be before.</div><br/><br/></div><br/><br/><div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><br/><br/><div dir="auto">Now it's time for the grand finale: finding Oma her forever home.</div><br/><br/><div dir="auto">She has worked so hard to become healthy, and her foster mom has been nothing short of an angel through it all. Getting Oma adopted will be the perfect ending to her incredible journeyand the beautiful beginning of her next chapter.</div><br/><br/></div><br/><br/><div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><br/><br/><div dir="auto">Let's do this for her. Oma deserves it.</div><br/><br/><div dir="auto">She is fully vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, current on heartworm and flea prevention, loves car rides, great with other dogs and kids, and just a doll! She would be fine as an only dog or maybe if a family is looking to add another canine companion.</div><br/><br/><div dir="auto">She is about 6 years old and loves life! Oma is in Memphis.</div><br/><br/></div> IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING THIS PET PLEASE SUBMIT THE ADOPTION APPLICATION VIA OUR WEBSITE: WWW.TAILSOFHOPEDOGRESCUE.COM. The adoption cost is $200.00.
