Original: “She pulls hard on the leash at the beginning of the walk since she is so excited to GO!!!”
MAESSR was contacted by a Virginia shelter about a sweet 10 year old Cocker they had. Her owner had passed away and no one in the family could take her. We said sure we can help this cutie!
Macy was taken to the vet and behaved very well there. Her health concerns were numerous but fixable. The poor dear had bad dual ear infections, abscessed teeth that needed a dental with extractions, cherry eye in her left eye, a mild heart murmur, low thyroid levels and giardia. The ear infections have been treated and her ears are now clear. Eight teeth were extracted so she is eating much better now. Macy had surgery to fix the cherry eye and has been treated for giardia.
This sweet fun girl is feeling so much better! She jumps and dances around. Macy just needs to lose more weight and she will be great. Her low thyroid levels are being brought back to normal through inexpensive thyroid supplements that she will take for the rest of her life. Another plus of these supplements is that they will help her lose weight.
Macy is housetrained and has excellent house manners. She will counter-surf if given the opportunity, so food is not kept close to the edge of the counter.
This little sweetie loves to ride in the car and is a good passenger. When it’s time for walking rather than driving, Macy is always ready. She pulls hard on the leash at the beginning of the walk since she is so excited to GO!!!
Macy gets along with the other dogs in her foster home. There has been a couple of minor incidents where Macy was eating and another dog approached. Macy barked at them and chased them away. This was HER meal, thank you!
This girl is looking for a family that will love her for the rest of her life. She has a ton of love and fun to give back.
