If you’re interested in adopting or fostering one of these guys or both, please let us know.

UPDATE: Our Tally is blind and does not have juvenile diabetes. We don’t know why she is blind at this time we feel she had some sort of head trauma. We could do a CT scan which would cost approx $5-8k but that won’t change the fact that she is blind. All her levels are fine and she has no neurological issues.

Tally needs someone who understands that there could be medical issues down the road and somebody who understands she’s going to need training specifically because she’s blind…

She loves toys and is starting to open up. She gets the zoomies when she is outside. Loves her food and is very lovable. She is good with other animals too.

Tally LOVES dogs!

One of our trusted veterinarians completed a full work up on her yesterday. Come to find out after some vision tests, she seems to be blind! The doctor explained it like this… Her eyeballs work, but the brain is not sending signals to the eyes, telling them to see. This sweet girl, whatever she has been through in this life, is scared and for good reason, she can’t see! Knowing this, and knowing that she was at the shelter she didn’t know, explained so much…

Now onto her other symptoms… Our veterinarian suspects she might have severe juvenile diabetes. We will not know this for certain until tomorrow when the blood test and analysis come back. At this time, we are seeking an urgent medical foster, we will have more information as far as what her specific needs are once all of the tests come back and we have a full diagnosis and treatment plan in place.

Right now, one thing we know for certain is that she cannot see. Despite this, she is the sweetest thing! She is doing well at her foster home and has really come out of her shell. She will need a home with no young children or other animals at this time.

We will update you all the moment we have answers! Please send prayers, she really is a special one 🙏🏻

What is Congenital Hydrocephalus?

Congenital hydrocephalus is a condition in dogs where cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) accumulates excessively in the brain, causing increased pressure and brain damage.

What does this mean for Woody and his future?

His wonderful neurologist feels that although this is something we cannot treat at this time due to his age and how tiny he is, he is on the better side of this condition. There is no telling whether or not his condition will worsen as time goes on, so all we can do it. This time is monitor his symptoms and give him the best life possible. With this condition, there is a possibility for seizures in the future in which we would have to take as they come and treat as he grows. Again, due to his size and age medication and shunt placement are out of the question.

He is mobile, happy, social, he has a wonderful personality, and is overall a wonderful puppy. He has a chance at a full and happy life, but there’s always going to be the possibility for complications as he grows into his little body.

At this time, we would love to find a perfect forever home for woody to live out his life with a family that loves him. He loves other dogs, he loves to play, he has the cutest little strut that I have ever seen in my entire life, and he just wants to be with his person! He is an extra extra extra small little bundle of happiness. He has no idea that there’s anything wrong with him to begin with!!  

If you’re interested in Woody and hearing more about how he can join your family, please contact us directly. We would love to talk with you more about this very special little boy.
