Doodles

Doodles is an adorable Shih Tzu surrendered by owner s claiming they’d rescued her from a puppy mill.  A little detective work determined they were the ones who’d relentlessly bred Doodles over the last several years, releasing her to us only when she was no longer of use to them.   Her latest litter had died within her, causing pyometra and nearly killing Doodles.   She arrived covered with fleas, dejected, smelly and filthy with matted hair.  Following her spay surgery (recovery was touch and go as shown in the top right picture), follow up procedures for dental care and removal of mammary tumors,(Cost $810.95) Doodles is literally a dog of a different color.  Her off-white/gray coat transformed into a lovely golden honey color, and her eyes are as bright as her future with her new family.  It was discovered just before her adoption that Doodles also had low thyroid, which only seemed to increase the enthusiasm of her adopters, who already had another rescue Shih Tzu named Pashie with chronic medical problems.
