Busy Couple of Weeks

So it has been a little over two weeks and Gio is doing fabulous.  He is still in therapy and each time we go, they add new activities.  He is starting to really enjoy it too!

He is getting quite playful now and is really becoming good friends with his foster sister Lucy.  He still gets a bit fresh with his foster brother Beans, but we think that is because he wants to play!

This week, Gio wants to talk about his friend Sassy who is at the shelter still.  Sassy came to the shelter with a life threatening, but completely avoidable, disease called pyometra.  This is caused by an infection in the uterus, which would have been avoided had she been spayed.  Thankfully Sassy's owner surrendered her to us and Dr. Atkins was able perform an emergency spay and start her on the road to recovery.

Sassy is an 8 year old Doberman mix who is currently staying with us at the shelter to make sure she is continuing to show improvement.  She is already doing quite well, but isn't out of the woods completely.
