4/08/23-Duchess Furbottom is doing well & loves basking in the sun.  She enjoys her ear scratches and laying on her bed or an open crate. She is still on the shy side but loves being around humans of all ages and other dogs. Duchess walks very well on a leash.  Her foster Dad says she stops when he does & she probably won’t need a leash eventually as she’s so good! She is going to make a great pet for someone.
 
 
4/5/23-Duchess Furbottom had her pre-spay vet appointment today & poor girl is a hot mess! She had bald spots & her blood work shows inflammation. She also has both yeast & bacterial ear infections & one ear is pretty bad. We got ear meds and an antiseptic shampoo. We know now that Duchess is out of the mill and eating healthy these issues will clear up. We have her on Science Diet Healthy Skin & Sensitive stomach to help her cost & skin too.  The groomer had to cancel Monday so we will get her shaved down soon to feel better too.  Right now Duchess is very shy (no aggression) & just prefers to observe everything from her crate. We put her in the living room pen after she got back from vets.  She hung out a while then wanted to go back to her room & cage.  We are leaving gates open this week hoping the other dogs will draw her out & help her to be more social. She will be spayed on Thursday 4/20 & she should be able to go home after that. 
 
 
4/01/23-Poor Duchess is a mess. She is in heat, so matted and poop encrusted. I shaved her the best I could but her nipples are hanging so low it was hard to tell between them & knots.  I washed her the best I could and she will be professionally groomed on Monday. I’m sure she will feel & look better after that!
 
 
3/31/23-Duchess Furbottom is an sweet 3 year old female mini bernedoodle (miniature poodle/bernese mountain dog). She was saved from being killed by a puppy mill as they just got done breeding her. She arrived safely into our rescue tonight thanks to her transport volunteers. She has her pre-spay appointment on Wednesday & will hopefully be spayed soon after. Once she is spayed she will be ready to go to her new home. More updates from her foster home soon!
