Mable, Mable

Update on the dog situation. The owner never came to reclaim her from Animal Control, so Athens Canine Rescue has taken her in. Another foster agreed to foster her since I am so busy as Adoption Coordinator and babysitting other fosters, so that is a big relief. I also have lots of trips planned for the rest of the year, so I was worried about what to do with her while I am gone.

Anyway, her name was Diamond, but I renamed her Mable. She is about a year old, 30-35 pounds, and a shep/hound mix. She is still a little underweight, has a sore on her back that is healing, her neck is a little raw where she was tied to the tree, and she has a touch of mange that should clear up in a week or two. She is heartworm negative, though. That is wonderful news! If I were LV, Mable definitely would have been heartworm positive, because LV always seems to find the dogs with heartworms. It's very expensive to treat heartworms, and it's not too fun for the owner or pet.

So, Miss Mable is getting spayed this morning, and then I will drop her off at her foster's home--who has assured me that Mable will feel absolutely spoiled in just a couple days!

She just looks like Mable to me. :-)
