Please consider sponsoring me! My medical expenses have been extremely high and we need some help to continue my medical care! Thank you!!
Im Daffodil, a petite, five-year-old boxer mix. I was recently taken in by a loving foster family in southern Arizona. I'm a pretty laid back girl. I like to sleep all day, preferably in a laundry basket. My foster family has a little boy, and I usually ignore him, even when he wakes me up from my naps. Im potty trained, and I will let you know when I'm ready to go outside. I get up and do a happy dance if I think you're going to feed me; I get very excited and wriggle around trying to get your attention. When I was back at the rescue, I developed a talent at sneaking treats from my unsuspecting fellow canines. That frustrated the humans (even though I was quite charming about it), because they wanted me on a special diet in case my problems are allergy related.
If the nice lady at Arizona Cocker Rescue hadnt seen my sad eyes and taken me from County, I would have been killed! I was extremely emaciated and covered in a mange-like skin rash! They took me to the vet over and over again and gave me the works: dental treatment, blood work, and a lot of tests for my skin. I didn't have mange, and they didnt know how to help me. After a whole year at the rescue, I have gained weight, but I am still an almost hairless, scabby mystery. My dermatologist says my 'thyroid levels are off'. Now, I get thyroid medication, my special diet, and medicated baths twice a week. The new treatment seems to be working, because I'm not quite so scabby. The medication is not so bad; they give me treats with each dose! My foster family is great, but I cant wait for a family to love forever. Could I join your family? I don't ask for much... just a laundry basket and some love.
