Gabby
It has been quite a journey for Gabby and at this time, unfortunately still isn’t done. Sweet Gabby was born with two bad hips which caused her never-ending, excruciating pain. We couldn’t let this puppy continue living in severe pain so we took her into our program to get her some new hips and thankfully we had a foster home to assist and care for her on this journey.
While in our program, Gabby had both hips replaced but unfortunately the second one did not take and after multiple attempts to get it to set, the decision to perform a FHO (femoral head osteotomy) was the last resort. Since this has been done, we have seen some positive behavioural growth in Gabby. The girl, through no fault of her own, that came to us with significant trust issues, fearful, reactive to new people, situations, noises, through consistency, structure, reassurance and training is becoming a wonderful dog that is fun, sassy and craves snuggles. Over the last 2 weeks her foster home reported some new concerns of whimpering, discomfort, carrying her right leg around with minimal use, so we have started the road to repair and or recovery on that. With that being said, her foster family has requested we find her a more permanent home with time and the ability to carry on with her care and road to recovery. We will require a home that can follow and perform the recommended healing process, provide medications and be readily available for appointments with the surgeon for follow up assessments on her right rear leg. At this time, we are uncertain all of what will be involved in this recovery as we are at the mercy of her healing and the surgeons recommendations. That being said, we are hoping to find the right home for Gabby for the duration of her recovery and give her the best home possible to live the rest of her life, hopefully pain free.
Gabby is 1.5 years old, good with dog savvy cats as she will chase but takes her cues from the cat. Gabby would love a doggy friend who can keep up with her play-style. Gabby loves her treats and treat ball but she is always down for a snuggle session and belly rubs. Large breed savvy children over 10 years old preferred as Gabby is easily excitable and can knock a youngster over.
We are looking for a large breed and or Rottweiler experienced person to help Gabby with her socialization and confidence. A home with a fenced yard is preferred so she can continue building up her muscle after surgery and work on her recall.
Gabby would love to have someone home with her more often than not but she can be left alone for a couple of hours. Gabby LOVES car rides and makes a great co-pilot.
If you are looking for a faithful and loyal companion, look no further. Gabby might just be who you are looking for.
