About Saki

Saki is 10 years old and weighs a too-chubby 14.6 pounds. Saki is a Shih Tzu/Yorkie Mix, a little Shorkie. She is being fostered in Orlando, FL. UPDATED BIO 09/04/2018: Hi again, Saki here. Let me tell you what's been going on since you last heard from me. On August 13th, I saw a new dogtor to see if she could remove my bad eye. She said she could and BAM - the very next day my bad eye was removed. She also spayed me and cleaned my teeth. I am all healed now and I feel wonderful. I am much more playful, too, since my hurty eye is gone. I've been losing weight, and the nice vet told me that my perfect weight would be 12 pounds, so more power walking for me is in my future! On the not-so-good side, my primary dogtor discovered that I have hypothyroidism and Cushing's Disease. I have to take medicine to control both of these for the rest of my life. The thing is, the medicine I need is expensive and will cost about $60 per month. I will also need blood tests every six months that will cost between $150-$250. I know it will cost a lot to keep me feeling good for the rest of my life, but I am sooo worth it. I'm the sweetest girl you will ever meet. I love everyone and I am well-behaved and smart, too. I am house-trained and will also use a pee-pee-pad if it is raining outside or I am left alone for several hours. I like all people, including children (over the age of 5 years old) and other dogs. Please don't turn away from me because I have only one eye and have several medical conditions. My former owners did that and that is how I ended up at the shelter. I'm so grateful that the really nice people at UYR rescued me and made me feel better. You won't regret giving me a chance at happiness with a new furever home. I have a lot of love to give.
